Welcome Message from State Representative Bryan Shupe
Hello, Friends and Neighbors,
I’m Bryan Shupe, and I’m proud to be your State Representative. As someone who was born and raised right here in our district, I understand the values and hard work that make our community so special. I’m a small business owner, a Christian, a family man, and someone who has always believed in giving back through volunteering.
Over the years, I’ve had the honor of representing our shared values in Dover, and I’ve made it my mission to defend the principles that matter most to you.
I stand firmly against government overreach. Whether it’s fighting against the takeover of our local hospitals (HB 350) or working to protect transparency through the Freedom of Information Act (HB 200), I’ll continue to push back against any attempt to infringe on our freedoms.
I’m also dedicated to holding developers accountable. That’s why I created HB 270, which requires developers to build paved roads, and I’ve helped neighbors access the Department of Justice when they’ve been wronged.
I believe strongly in improving childhood literacy. That’s why I’ve worked to create new literacy programs for Delaware libraries and early childhood nonprofits, while also mentoring local youth to help them succeed.
As a strong supporter of our first responders, I fought to save pensions for injured officers, created tuition programs for our brave firefighters, and made sure our men and women in uniform have the equipment they need to keep us safe.
Protecting our natural resources is also a top priority. I’ve helped create a clean water program and fought against unnecessary development near our watersheds.
I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together, but there’s more work to be done. And as always, I want you to know that I am fully accessible to you. If you ever have any concerns or questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly at bryan.shupe@delaware.gov or give me a call on my personal cellphone at 302-542-9231.
I will always fight for our community and our values. Thank you for the honor of serving you, and together, we will continue to build a stronger, safer, and more prosperous future.
God bless you and our great district.
Sincerely,
Bryan Shupe
