⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position Dr. Katz supports the Commander-in-Chief's constitutional authority to protect American national security interests, including with respect to Iran's nuclear threat. Per his veterans and defense platform, Dr. Katz believes that telegraphing withdrawal timelines to adversaries like Iran undermines American deterrence and endangers U.S. service members. Coons' cosponsorship of S.J.Res. 191 signals a willingness to constrain presidential war powers at a moment of heightened Iranian aggression.

⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position Dr. Katz supports fiscal responsibility and government restructuring, consistent with his Delaware Senate legislation establishing an independent council for a five-year plan to restructure and reorganize state government. Dr. Katz believes efficiency reviews — including DOGE initiatives — can strengthen defense readiness by redirecting wasteful spending to warfighter priorities, rather than protecting bureaucratic bloat as Coons appears to do.

⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position Dr. Katz supports strong investment in Dover AFB infrastructure and recognizes the base's strategic importance to both national defense and Delaware's economy, per his veterans and defense platform. This is an area where Dr. Katz can acknowledge bipartisan agreement on Dover's value while pivoting to argue that Coons' broader defense posture — including cosponsoring the Iran war powers resolution — undermines the very mission Dover supports.

⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position Dr. Katz supports the Commander-in-Chief's authority to defend American interests against Iranian aggression, per his defense platform emphasizing that sustaining a robust military force is essential for preserving global peace. Coons' cosponsorship signals prioritization of congressional micromanagement over operational flexibility.

⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position Dr. Katz supports a strong posture toward China that prioritizes American economic competitiveness and national security. Per his energy and environment platform, Dr. Katz advocates for American energy and mineral independence to reduce reliance on Chinese supply chains. Staff should complete text review of S.Res. 716 to determine whether the resolution aligns with or undermines these goals.

⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position Dr. Katz supports American energy independence and nuclear energy development, per his energy and environment platform, including his endorsement of the ADVANCE Act for nuclear technology. Coons' bill title references 'allied' energy security — staff should scrutinize whether this prioritizes foreign energy partnerships over domestic production. Dr. Katz believes energy independence starts at home, not through allied frameworks that could dilute American advantage.

⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position Dr. Katz supports protecting retirement benefits for working Americans, per his economy and cost-of-living platform. However, the zero-cosponsor pattern across Coons' legislative portfolio raises questions about his effectiveness in building coalitions. Dr. Katz's Delaware Senate record includes advancing bipartisan legislation — a contrast to Coons' solitary bill introductions that stall in committee.

⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position Dr. Katz supports consumer protection measures that are practical and achievable, per his economy platform. Coons' ESCRA Act at fifty-two days with zero cosponsors exemplifies the pattern of introducing legislation with no viable path to passage — a messaging exercise rather than serious lawmaking.

⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position Dr. Katz supports government transparency — he authored Delaware SR 14 requiring live streaming of the Delaware State Senate and SR 9 mandating open and transparent redistricting. The Pro Codes Act may touch transparency principles, but its fifty-two days of inaction and zero cosponsors show Coons' inability to advance even modest reform.

⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position Dr. Katz supports strong ICE enforcement and secure borders, per his platform. Coons' ICE Accountability Act represents an effort to hamstring enforcement through bureaucratic red tape — and even his own caucus won't cosponsor it. Dr. Katz opposes any legislation that creates new barriers to interior immigration enforcement.

⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position Dr. Katz's Delaware Senate record demonstrates an ability to advance substantive legislation — including DHIN restructuring, term limits (SB 61), lobby reform (SB 141), and the Brandywine Valley National Scenic Byway (SB 241). Coons' zero-cosponsor pattern after sixteen years in the Senate is a powerful effectiveness contrast. Dr. Katz believes legislating means building coalitions, not filing bills that die alone in committee.

⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position Dr. Katz has called for a VA Advanced Medical Facility in Southern Delaware, per his veterans platform, citing the urgent need for accessible, advanced medical care for veterans in Kent and Sussex counties. As a physician, Dr. Katz brings direct healthcare operational expertise to this issue that Coons lacks. Dr. Katz believes this facility should address unique veteran health challenges including mental health, traumatic brain injury, and PTSD.

⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position Dr. Katz authored SB 100 in the Delaware Senate to repeal the state corporate income tax to attract business investment and generate jobs. His pro-business record demonstrates an understanding that Delaware's corporate franchise is an economic lifeline that requires active protection. Coons' fifteen weeks of silence on ExxonMobil's decision to bypass Delaware signals indifference to the state's most important economic competitive advantage.

⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position Dr. Katz supports fiscal responsibility and efficient government, per his economy platform and his Delaware Senate government restructuring legislation. While Dr. Katz believes America needs robust diplomacy, he also believes that USAID and the State Department — like all agencies — must justify their spending and eliminate redundancy. Sixteen weeks of blanket opposition from Coons suggests defense of bureaucracy rather than defense of diplomacy.

⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position Dr. Katz supports strong border security, robust ICE enforcement, and full DHS funding without anti-enforcement riders, per his secure borders platform. Coons' expected alignment with the caucus position of restricting ICE and conditioning DHS funding stands in direct opposition to Dr. Katz's call for secure borders and strong immigration enforcement. Dr. Katz opposes using the appropriations process to sabotage border security.

⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position I strongly support the SAVE Act. Only U.S. citizens should vote in U.S. elections, a position shared by the overwhelming majority of Americans. I oppose efforts to block or filibuster citizenship verification, because protecting a broken system over basic election integrity is wrong.

⚡ Dr. Katz’s Position I am building a coalition of Republican voters, independent voters, and disenfranchised Democratic voters to win this election in November. As a physician with over forty years of healthcare experience, a former Delaware State Senator, and a business owner, I bring real-world expertise to the problems Delaware families face every day. Delaware deserves a senator who delivers results, not one who coasts on sixteen years of incumbency while costs go up and trust goes down.
