John Carney in 2022 Governor's State of the State speeches

On Budget & Economy: Put a hyper-focus on small business: they drive job creation

We know that nationally, and in Delaware, small businesses drive job creation. That's why, for the first time ever, we put a hyper focus on small business inside state government. That includes supporting innovative new tech companies and mom-and-pop mainstream businesses. Since 2019, our EDGE Grants program has supported more than 35 small businesses. These businesses are creating jobs and poised for growth. Source: 2022 State of the State Address to the Delaware legislature Jan 20, 2022

On Education: A robust, accurate, Black history curriculum in schools

One thing that the past two years have taught me is that there is value in acknowledging, and celebrating, the complexity of our state. And our complex and often difficult history. That's why I was proud to sign Representative Dorsey Walker's bill into law, ensuring that a robust, accurate, Black history curriculum is taught in Delaware public schools.

On Welfare & Poverty: Develop more than 1,200 affordable housing units

Using federal funds, the State Housing Authority is partnering with the private sector to rebuild the Riverside community in northeast Wilmington. It's a very exciting project. The Housing Authority has made available $50 million in rental and mortgage assistance to Delawareans struggling to get by across our state. And over the next three years, we will invest federal dollars to revitalize and develop more than 1,200 affordable housing units in Kent and Sussex counties.
