Delaware deserves a Senator who has actually done the work.

Dr. Mike Katz — U.S. Senate

Dr. Mike Katz has spent 30 years in Delaware treating patients, building businesses, and filing real legislation in the State Senate. He knows what this state needs because he’s been living it. Now he’s ready to fight for it in Washington.

What a U.S. Senator Should Do for Delaware


▶︎

Deliver Results

Advance policies that improve lives and bring real resources back to Delaware: not talking points, not press releases, but outcomes families can feel.

Solve Real Problems

Take on the issues that matter most: healthcare access, jobs, and the cost of living. Bring the same discipline and rigor that saves lives in critical care.

Represent Delaware First

Put Delaware families ahead of politics, parties, and special interests. Every vote in Washington should answer one question: how does this impact Delaware families?

“That is how I have approached every role I have held, and how I will serve in Washington.”

Today, Delaware is the patient.


Delaware families are paying more for groceries, energy, and housing than they were five years ago. Small businesses are struggling under federal regulations written for lobbyists, not entrepreneurs. Our rural communities still lack reliable healthcare access. And for fifteen years, Delaware’s senator has been reliably present in Washington, reliably voting with his party, reliably collecting endorsements, while Delaware’s real problems go unaddressed.

Dr. Katz has spent his career diagnosing problems and delivering results: in the ICU, in the boardroom, and in the legislature. Delaware doesn’t need another career politician. It needs someone who has actually run something, built something, and fought for something.

“I believe I am the only candidate in this race who can build the coalition needed to defeat Chris Coons in November.”

Families First Agenda

A servant leader places people above party and service above self. These are not abstract principles. They are the policies Dr. Katz will fight for in Washington, drawn from thirty years of living and working in Delaware.
