GOP Leader Murray Criticizes Delaware Democrats for Anti-Business Policies

DOVER, Del. (Feb. 4, 2025) — Delaware Republican Party Chair Julianne Murray criticized the state’s Democratic leadership for creating an anti-business environment, which she claims has driven major companies like Meta, Dropbox, and Tesla to relocate to more business-friendly states, such as Texas.

Murray’s comments come as an increasing number of businesses leave Delaware, citing high taxes, overregulation, and aggressive litigation as key factors in their decision.

She singled out Meta’s potential move as a symptom of broader issues. According to Murray, Delaware’s once-business-friendly reputation has shifted under Democratic leadership, with policies now discouraging companies from staying.

“Delaware used to be a place where businesses thrived, but now it’s a place where companies face lawsuits and excessive regulation,” Murray said.

Murray also pointed to Delaware’s ranking as one of the worst states for economic freedom, according to the Cato Institute’s Economic Freedom Index. The state’s high taxes, government overreach, and burdensome regulations were cited as contributing factors.

The Delaware Republican Party is calling for a reversal of these policies and a return to pro-business leadership, focusing on job creation, economic freedom, and responsible fiscal management.

Murray warned that if Democratic leadership continues its current approach, Delaware risks further economic decline, including the loss of more businesses and jobs.
