Delaware deserves new leadership.
VOTER REGISTRATION DEADLINE: AUGUST 22, 2026 ● PRIMARY ELECTION: SEPTEMBER 15, 2026
Why I’m Running
I’m running for the U.S. Senate because Delaware deserves a senator who fights for the people who live here, not the corporations, businesses and consultants who silence us.
My platform is straightforward: permanent housing solutions, living wages, healthcare that heals not bankrupts, and an end to endless military interventions abroad.
Delaware's current senator, Chris Coons, has spent his career prioritizing outside money over everyday Delawareans. Beardsley is offering something Coons never has: a senator that puts Delawareans first.

Meet Chris Beardsley
A proud Delawarean, a former Federal employee, Peace Corps volunteer, and Americorps member running for U.S. Senate because you deserve leaders who understand the impacts of the decisions they make on all of us.
Issues
Housing: Our Most Basic Need
Safe, permanent housing is a right, not a privilege reserved for the wealthy. Delawareans are paying up to 50% of their income on rent while homeownership drifts further out of reach, yet my opponent has accepted millions from the same financial institutions that brought us the last housing crisis.
I pledge to never take a dollar from them, and to fight ferociously for legislation that ensures every American has a healthy place to live.
Healthcare: A Human Right
Healthcare is a human right, and it's time for Medicare for All — a system that guarantees coverage for every resident, lowers costs, and saves lives. Our current system leaves Americans at the mercy of corporations, drowning in medical debt and unable to afford prescriptions.
Unlike my opponent, who has accepted millions from HMOs and big pharma, I will not take a single dollar from any group that profits off the health needs of our community.
A Real Living Wage
The federal minimum wage hasn't budged since 2009, and at $7.25 an hour, while members of Congress enjoy automatic salary increases tied to the cost of living.
One full-time job used to be enough to support a family; it should still be. Every worker, in every industry, deserves compensation that reflects their dignity and hard work, and the minimum wage must be indexed to the cost of living — period.
Block the Bombs
Our fellow citizens can't keep a roof over their heads or food on the table, yet Chris Coons and others have voted to keep sending billions in weapons to a country perpetrating a genocide, vetoing ceasefire resolutions and defunding UNRWA while Palestinians document their own slaughter.
There is no bipartisanship in genocide. There must be an arms embargo, and the Block the Bombs Act must pass.
Fighting for LGBTQIA+ Rights
The LGBTQIA+ community has always been forced to build its own networks of support in the face of a system that refuses to protect them, and as legal threats grow at every stage of life, that fight is more urgent than ever.
Barriers to equality are embedded in our tax code, healthcare, housing, and every corner of daily life. As a proud member of this community, I will never back down from fighting for it.
Promoting Public Education
Schools are the foundation of healthy communities, and decades of federal policy have systematically drained public education to funnel tax dollars into charter and private religious schools.
Teachers deserve higher pay, better resources, and real support; students deserve safe, inclusive environments where their existence is never up for debate. Gutting the Department of Education isn't reform — it's abandonment.
