what we’re fighting for

Tackling Corporate Greed
Delaware's laws should protect consumers and workers, not shield those who exploit them.
In a state with more corporations than people, it’s imperative that the Attorney General ensure that entities taking advantage of Delaware’s corporate franchise do not engage in fraud, waste, and abuse. Instead of bending over backwards to protect the “broligarchy” class of billionaires, Dwayne will embolden the Department of Justice’s fraud section to rigorously prosecute corporate fraud that illegally targets Delaware consumers. A one-sided system that only incentivizes incorporation in Delaware without any accountability to the public fails us all. Delaware’s shareholders, consumers, and small business owners cannot afford to be drug to the bottom by corporate abuse by the billionaire class.
Independent Government Oversight
No one is above the law, not even the institutions meant to uphold it.
The Attorney General is an independent legal officer whose duty is to ensure that the State upholds its obligations to the people. When elected officials swear to uphold the Constitutions of the United States and Delaware, it is the Attorney General’s role to ensure that those officials adhere to that oath. This means that when a state agency engages in abuse of power, the Attorney General represents the people, not the agency. Dwayne has fought to ensure that agency officials adhere to their constitutional duties while the State has paid millions of taxpayer dollars to defend indefensible abuse and corruption. Too often, elected officials forget that they serve those who elected them instead of the institutions that keep them in power. Dwayne is not beholden to any political party or incumbent class. Delaware deserves an Attorney General who’s not afraid of holding other elected officials accountable to the people.
Unwavering Civil Rights
Protections on paper mean nothing without leaders willing to enforce them.
Dwayne’s entire legal career has been dedicated to enforcing civil rights, including advancing voting rights, protecting free speech and privacy, and fighting cruel and unusual punishment. He has served as Vice Chair on Delaware’s Human and Civil Rights Commission, enforcing the state’s civil rights statutes prohibiting discrimination in public accommodations and housing. Unfortunately, too often the Department of Justice has failed to prosecute claims of discrimination, either burdening the Division for Human and Civil Rights and its Commissioners, making them incapable of enforcing the laws, or leaving complainants with no remedy whatsoever. Dwayne will empower Delaware’s Human and Civil Rights agencies, including the Division of Civil Rights and Public Trust, to ensure that there is no place for discrimination in Delaware.

Dwayne knows that our government works best when it works for the people, not self interests.
