WILMINGTON, DE — Today, the Dr. Mike Katz for U.S. Senate campaign proudly announced it has received the official endorsement of the Independent Party of Delaware (IPOD).
The endorsement represents a major milestone for Dr. Katz's growing, cross-partisan movement to bring true servant leadership back to Washington and deliver a general election victory for all Delawareans.
The momentum behind Dr. Katz has reached a fever pitch following his historic 82% landslide victory at the Delaware Republican Party Convention, securing a definitive mandate from grassroots conservatives.
Now, the Independent Party of Delaware is adding its strength to this expanding coalition of Republicans, Independents, and common-sense Democrats ready for real change. In an official letter, IPOD leadership praised Dr. Katz's extensive background — which spans 40 years in medicine, an International Executive MBA, an undergraduate degree in economics, and experience in business and legislating — as a "rare opportunity" for voters across the political spectrum.
"Delaware doesn't need a career politician; we need a listening physician. While politicians are often beholden to their corporate donors, special interests, and personal triumph, Dr. Katz is beholden to Delawareans. Our State and Country need a strong, clear-headed leader, a smart problem solver, and an unwavering healer."
— Benjamin Woratyla, Chair, Independent Party of Delaware
"I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of the Independent Party of Delaware," said Dr. Mike Katz. "This campaign isn't about political insiders; it's about the people. True change always inspires us to reach higher, and while the climb can be challenging, our momentum is building every day. Together, we are going to fight back, root out corruption, and restore the promise of our nation."
Building on this powerful momentum, Dr. Katz is issuing a welcoming invitation to Delaware's massive block of independent, unaffiliated, and cross-party voters, offering a unifying path forward for the general election.
"To every independent, unaffiliated, and common-sense voter in Delaware who wants to see real results, I am inviting you to stand with us," Dr. Katz said. "To make your voice heard where it counts right now, I encourage you to update your voter registration to Republican before the upcoming deadline.
"For too long, the traditional losing playbook has locked us into a predictable 35% status quo self-limiting ceiling that unfortunately keeps a general election victory permanently out of reach.
"We need a candidate with the broad appeal to win the whole state, not a repeat campaign that is content with a symbolic primary percentage.
"By adjusting your registration for this primary, you take the power into your own hands. I welcome you to join our team today so we can build a broad, winning ticket, move past the old political formulas, and ensure that I will defeat Chris Coons this fall."
The deadline for unaffiliated voters to change their party affiliation to Republican is May 29.
By updating their registration by May 29, independent and cross-party voters can play a direct role in shaping the ballot and ensuring a competitive, results-oriented outsider represents Delaware this fall.
