Kowalko Addresses Toxic Chemical Reform
If you didn’t get a chance to read the Jeff Montgomery articles on tainted groundwater, put down that glass of water and read it now. Seriously, put down the water. You come away from that series feeling like a passenger that has no knowledge of boats, but just found out that your ship is sinking […]
Kowalko Takes on Delmarva About Smart Meters
Next Wednesday, John Kowalko’s House Energy Committee will conduct a hearing to investigate the cost structure being used by Delmarva Power to install “smart meters” in homes in Delaware.

Guest Post: A Eulogy for Chris White
From Representative John Kowalko (D-Newark):
I’ve known Chris White for over four years, working with him intimately over a nine month period to produce the Foreclosure Mediation Program. No one brought more knowledge, enthusiasm and dedication to crafting the successful creation of that program and, simply put, it probably would not exist today without Chris.
Healthcare NOW!
On Friday, I was able to leave work a little early and visit a healthcare rally held in Newark. The event was a stop on an 8 day march from Philadelphia to Washington. The march is called The March for Melanie in honor of an activist from Philadelphia, Melanie Shouse, that recently lost her battle with breast cancer.
Melanie’s death certificate certainly said that the cause of death was breast Cancer, but it was just as much caused by a lack of healthcare.
Who Will Run and How Do They Stack Up?
With Beau Biden’s withdrawal from the Senate race yesterday, we have a lot of scrambling going on. Let’s discuss the pros and cons of each of the prospective Democratic candidates.
First, let’s dispense with Lt. Governor Matt Denn. I spoke to him yesterday. He isn’t going to run. His two kids come first in his life, and not seeing them for days at a time would be an abdication of his most important role. But let me say for the record, he would be my first choice.

Guest Post: Kowalko’s Open Letter to Delaware’s Delegation
Dear Senators Carper, Kauffman and Congressman Castle,
As a Delaware State legislator whose focus and efforts are dedicated to the best interests of all Delawareans just as your efforts have always been focused, I am writing you to ask you to reconsider the consequences of your vote to cut-off “housing and community grant funding” to ACORN.
Two Democratic State Reps Make People of Influence List
In Delaware Today’s list of the People of Influence, two of our Democratic State Representatives make the grade, Schwartzkopf and Kowalko. Pete Schwartkopf was named for his influence in politics. The Rehoboth Beach legislator sponsored the bill that made sports betting legal in Delaware, and he continues to be a powerful voice for the Del […]
Kowalko Suits Up For Battle
John Kowalko has been fighting tooth and nail with the Governor (against the across-the-board pay cuts) and against the Republicans that don’t think that we should increase a single tax (even a small tax on alcohol and a larger one on cigarettes). But now, it’s crunch time. By midnight Tuesday they need to have a […]
Pushing The Issue: HB253
John Kowalko chairs the Joint Sunset Committee and he’s trying to challenge the Delaware Way from that vantage point. Case in point: HB253 (restructuring the Victims Compensation Board). From the presser: House Bill 253 is identical to Senate Bill 144, which was developed by and sponsored by the members of the Joint Sunset Committee, a […]
