Dr. Mike Katz for U.S. Senate — Republican Nominee, Delaware 2026
This is the communications reference version of the platform. The full platform at drmikekatz.com/platform carries the deeper argument, evidence, and specific legislation he will support or oppose.
Guiding Principles
Every piece of legislation is judged by the same standards. Dr. Katz will ask:
- Does it protect earned benefits and constitutional rights?
- Does it improve healthcare, quality of life, and economic opportunity for Delaware families?
- Does it strengthen national security and America's leadership abroad?
- Is it fiscally responsible?
- Does it improve government accountability, transparency, and performance?
If legislation advances these goals, Dr. Katz will build bipartisan support to deliver results.
