Delaware Governor Matt Meyer taps former White House official Cristen Linke Young for next Delaware health secretary

Young previously worked in North Carolina as a deputy secretary for the state’s health department, and more recently worked as a fellow at the Brookings Institution, a public policy think tank based out of Washington, D.C.

“At a time of great challenges and opportunities, I look forward to working with the Governor, the General Assembly, and the team at DHSS to deliver high-quality health and social services to every Delawarean,” Young said in a statement.

#Delaware Politics

FFRF Action Fund is pleased to endorse #MattMeyer in his gubernatorial bid.

Meyer has served as the New Castle County Executive since 2017. Also, a prior public school math teacher and small business owner, #Meyer is the clear candidate that will best align with the separation of church and state. He has expressed support for a Medical Aid in Dying bill that the #FFRF Action Fund supports, which the current governor vetoed in September. He also lists protecting #ReproductiveAutonomy and #LGBTQ+ rights as a top priority.

An audit report from the #Delaware Election Department says he did.

#MattMeyer has claimed Hall-Long had been “lying to Delawareans for nearly a decade and breaking the law and trying to cover it up.”

Meyer’s team released a statement that they said came from Erik Raser-Schramm, calling on party leaders to rescind their endorsement of Hall-Long!

Another candidate running for #Governor of Delaware!

“In the latest twist in the 2024 election, Collin O’Mara, a former #Delaware Secretary of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and current CEO of the National Wildlife Federation, is exploring a run for governor.

He joins a gubernatorial campaign that already features New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer and Lt. Gov. Bethany Hall Long, who has been endorsed by Gov. #JohnCarney but also been hamstrung by prior campaign finance issues."
