Happy I get to share all the days and nights (and everything in between) with you on this adventure we call life.

I hope you’ll join me in wishing my husband, Governor @mattmeyerde.bsky.social, a very Happy Birthday. 💙🎉🥳

Matt wears a lot of hats: dad, husband, teacher, governor, and somehow gives his all to every one of them. He leads with integrity and heart, and I couldn’t be prouder.

As both First Lady and a physician, I know how important it is for families to have clear, reliable guidance.

The science is clear: taking Tylenol during pregnancy does not cause autism. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has confirmed this medicine is safe for expectant parents to use.

Being curious and asking questions is important. But it’s just as important to share information responsibly.

That’s why our administration is holding Gun Violence Listening Sessions across Delaware. Wilmington will host one on 9/16, and every voice is welcome. Delaware is strong, and we will stop the cycle.

My heart breaks for the lives lost – from leaders and loved ones taken too soon, to children in our schools who should be safe but are not. As an ER doctor, I’ve held victims’ hands, spoken to grieving parents, and seen the devastation up close. It fuels my resolve to act.

When First Spouses from across the country, and party lines, come together with one voice, it’s because the stakes are too high to stay silent. I was proud to join them in signing a letter demanding an end to the gun violence that is tearing families apart and stealing futures.

As an ER doctor, I don’t just pray for gunshot victims. I act.

Our job is to save every life in front of us. But the truth is, the time to protect our children from gun violence is before they ever reach the ER.

We can’t wait. We must act now.

As an ER doctor, I know equality isn’t abstract.

It’s the difference between:
➡️ A small issue solved
➡️ Or a crisis that never should’ve happened.

That’s why we’re working every day to make equality real in our laws, clinics, workplaces, and homes.

✨ Happy #WomensEqualityDay, Delaware! ✨

Women’s Equality Day is both a celebration & a commitment.

As an ER doctor & mom of 3, I see the stakes daily. Gov @mattmeyerde.bsky.social’s proclamation is making a difference: advancing patient-centered care so families get answers sooner.

Equality is real in care, work & home

As an ER Doctor, I know firsthand the challenges our hospitals face when we have too many patients and not enough capacity. The Medicaid cuts in the Budget Reconciliation Bill will flood hospital emergency rooms, increasing wait times and making it harder to provide treatment.

And to my own dad, thank you for raising me with strong values and unconditional love. I’m grateful for all of the important life lessons I’ve learned, and continue to learn, from you everyday.

As we honor the brave Delawareans and Americans who died serving our nation, we are reminded that freedom has a cost. This Memorial Day, and every day, we remember our fallen and thank their families who carry on their legacy of service.

Governor Matt Meyer @mattmeyerde.bsky.social · May 26

On Memorial Day, we honor and remember the Delawareans, and every American, who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their bravery and sacrifice safeguard the freedoms we cherish. My thoughts are with their families today, with deep gratitude for all they have given.

As an ER doctor, I’ve seen the pain that terminal patients endure. HB 140 gives them and their families the power to choose peace. So proud of @mattmeyerde.bsky.social for signing this compassionate bill.

Governor Matt Meyer @mattmeyerde.bsky.social · May 20

The End-of-Life Options Act is now law in Delaware, giving terminally ill residents the choice to end their lives with dignity. With strong safeguards and years of advocacy, this marks a historic and compassionate step forward. Thank you to all who made it possible.

Being a mother is the greatest gift, but today I’m especially thinking of my own.

She’s always been there, showing me how to be a good mom, a strong leader, and a kind person. I truly don’t know where I’d be without her.

Love you so much, Mom — Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there.
