NOT FOR THE PEOPLE; WITH THE PEOPLE
I'm putting my experience to work.
I'm DeShanna Neal (she/they), a queer mother of four and community organizer. I became a public figure when my daughter Trinity expressed her desire to receive gender confirming medical treatments as a teenager. I fought for and won the right for Trinity to become the first child in Delaware to receive gender confirmation surgery via Medicaid. Despite the controversy and criticism I've received, I stand firm in my beliefs of racial justice, accessible medical and mental healthcare, and LGBTQ+ rights, and continue to fight not only for my family, but for all families in need in my community.
WHY AM I RUNNING NOW?
I’m running now because I am tired of conversation without action and partisan division over issues of human rights. I’m running to bring not only equality, but equity, education, and accessibility for all.
​
My goal is building a Delaware we can all be proud of. Even before running, I have spoken with locally and nationally elected officials to fight for the most at-risk in Delaware. As your representative, I can do more than talk: I can bring the change we need to District 13.
