John, I wanted to reach out again, following up on my previous message (my original email is attached to the bottom of this one) and give you a deeper look as to why I decided to run for Congress.
Working families like the one I grew up in are the backbone of our state, and we need to do everything we can to ensure that Delawareans can make a better life for themselves and their children.
Let me make sure you know where I'm coming from:
Growing up in a middle-class family with seven siblings, I witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by hardworking families. At a young age, my father's business went bankrupt, leading us to move frequently and struggle to make ends meet. We even faced the very real risk of homelessness. |
However, through determination and resilience, my family and I were able to overcome these obstacles and find success, a privilege that not everyone has.
These experiences have shaped my path and inspired me to become a strong advocate for middle-class families everywhere. |
If elected to Congress, I will fight to ensure they have access to affordable healthcare, quality education, and fair economic opportunities. |
In unity,
Treasurer Colleen Davis

1) We can't lose sight of our goal to fully bring back the economy after the pandemic. COVID-19 showed us the weakness in our economy and in the way we are serving people. During my service as Treasurer of Delaware, I focused on ensuring our healthcare workers had as much support as possible (even when that meant putting on PPE and helping out firsthand). We did everything we could to ensure fellow small business owners and job creators could make payroll and keep our economy afloat.
2) I want to make sure middle class families feel secure and supported. Time and time again, I've seen members of our community working extremely hard to secure a better future. Our office took strides to help working people save for college for their kids, plan for retirement, and cut red tape to unlock more opportunities for the people of Delaware.
3) This progressive campaign is grounded in protecting our rights—our reproductive rights, our right to feel safe in our schools and communities, our right to quality, affordable healthcare, and our right to a free and fair democracy.
As a mother of three and a former medical professional, I know the importance of fighting for progressive change to keep our communities safe. I will protect our fundamental rights and work towards a better future for our children, continuing Delaware's history of progress. |
It is important we have elected leaders in place who look at the whole picture and push for an economy that works for everyone. |

At just eight years old, Colleen’s life changed when her father’s company fell victim to fraud and went bankrupt. Her family was evicted, lost their home and all of their possessions, and they moved from rental home to rental home and school to school.
Thanks to the power of family, hard work and the care of her neighbors and teachers in Delaware, Colleen persevered and paid her way through college by driving an ambulance.
As a mom of three, and due to her own family’s early struggle, Colleen knows that we need more representatives in Congress who come from the working class and are focused on fighting for families. She will continue her work to keep Delaware families safe and secure, and fight for our children’s future by combating climate change, getting dangerous weapons off our streets and protecting our democracy and a woman’s right to choose.
Through her personal experience and her work as Delaware Treasurer since 2018, Davis has a deep understanding of what middle and working class families go through, and has fought to lower the cost of living in Delaware. She has worked to expand everyone’s ability to save for retirement through the creation of the Delaware EARNS program, and has expanded access to savings accounts and banking across underprivileged and vulnerable communities through her work to grow ABLE accounts, support of the Banking Desert Initiative and much more.
Colleen Davis lives in Sussex County, Delaware with her husband Anthony and her three children who are 17, 14 and 7 years old.
