Weekly Report: 2/26/24
Prepared By: Karl Stomberg
The legislature is still on the break through February, but we wanted to highlight the People-Powered Campaign Kickoff this Tuesday, February 27, 2024 at 6pm and also introduce some of the staff who help coordinate and make the party work.
Introducing The Staff
We are working to be a member-led party, and most of our major decisions from endorsements to issues we target are decided by members. However, if you are looking to get involved it can be useful to reach out to one of our staff who help coordinate the membership and build the organization. For those you haven’t met us yet, there is our Delaware staff below.
Karl, he/him, Political Director
Karl has been working for the Delaware Working Families Party since 2021 and previously worked on a variety of electoral campaigns including serving as campaign manager for Madinah Wilson-Anton, one of our original WFP champions. He is most focused on candidates and campaigns, though focuses on many of the overall aspects of the organization.
You can reach him at kstomberg@workingfamilies.org
Shyanne, she/her, Progressive Governance Director
Shyanne was hired ahead of the 2024 legislative session and previously has worked on a variety of organizing and issue campaigns covering issues from housing to environmental justice to police reform. She is most focused on legislation and government, supporting our elected officials and fighting for the issues that help working families.

Hasini was hired at the end of 2023 and previously had organized around a variety of criminal and racial justice issues at other organizations.
