The DVMFC Recommends Alonna Berry for RD20

The Delaware Veterans and Military Family Members Caucus is proud to recommend Alonna Berry for State Representative, District 20. As the daughter and granddaughter of veterans, and the spouse of an Army combat veteran, Alonna has spent much of her life steeped in the ideal of service to her country. She put those ideals into action as an AmeriCorps volunteer and in her work for various nonprofits and causes throughout Delaware, including the Milton Historical Society, Delaware Guidance Services, the Youth Philanthropy Board, Next Generation South, and the Delaware Community Foundation. As a policy advisor in the office of former Governor Carney, Alonna has a deep understanding of the legislative process, enabling her to hit the ground running as a state legislator when the current session resumes in January 2026. Alonna is simply an extraordinary candidate to replace Stell Selby Parker and complete her term, and then to continue as our representative in District 20. 

As with any special election, the most important thing for candidates is to ensure that their voters are aware of the election. Alonna tells us that while she welcomes volunteers, her most urgent need is money to continue her get-out-the-vote campaign. She continues to door-knock daily, runs phone banks several times a week, and will soon start text banking. Sign up to help out on her Volunteer page, and donate on her ActBlue page. We hope to host a DVMFC-specific virtual phone bank with a veteran-specific script soon; we encourage you to take an hour to make some phone calls. We’ll let the Caucus know when that phone banking opportunity is scheduled. 

Delaware Democrats are two seats away from achieving a supermajority in the State House, which would match their current supermajority in the State Senate. We need the supermajority to pass the state constitutional amendments to secure voting rights, including early voting and no-excuse absentee voting, reproductive rights, and bail reform. Winning RD20 means we only need one more seat. Join us in supporting Alonna Berry for State Representative, District 20. Election Day is Tuesday, August 5, with early voting starting on Thursday, July 24.
