Contact Your Legislators Today!
Elected officials need to know how much public support is behind the creation of an independent, nonpartisan Delaware Inspector General
Your action today can make a BIG difference!
Please contact your State Representative and ask them to pass Senate Bill 4 to create a Delaware Office of the Inspector General to provide oversight of state agencies and investigate possible fraud, waste, corruption, and mismanagement.
Let your Representative know that you are their constituent and this issue matters to you. You can learn more about the proposed OIG here.
Contact your State Representative!
SB 4 was passed by the Senate on May 22, 2025, and is now awaiting a vote in the House of Representatives. You can use the sample letter below to contact your State Representative. You should make sure that you let them know why an OIG is important to you.
Dear Representative [Representative’s Name],
I support the establishment of a Delaware Office of the Inspector General, and I urge you to pass Senate Bill 4 to create this critical oversight office.
I am pleased to know there is strong, bipartisan support for establishing a Delaware Inspector General to prevent and address possible fraud, waste, mismanagement, and corruption. An independent, nonpartisan Office of the Inspector General will enhance the public trust by promoting efficient, effective practices by state agencies and employees.
I want all state agencies to come under the clearly defined authority of an Office of the Inspector General that includes strong whistleblower protections, the power to subpoena witnesses and documents, and the responsibility to report its fundings, conclusions, and recommendations to the public.
A strong, effective Office of the Inspector General is a good investment that will save Delaware taxpayers money and assure the public that government agencies operate in the best interest of the public.
Please pass SB 4 to create this important office during the 2025 legislative session.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
