About Us

Save Our Sussex PAC was formed in 2025 to give residents a voice in determining the future of Sussex County. It’s our effort to level the playing field.

Builders and others with financial interests in home construction have used their own well-funded PAC to maintain unrestrained development. In 2024, they tried to keep the status quo but county residents made clear their desire for a new path. Voters elected three new county council members.

That’s the kind of change we want to continue. We want to give a voice to people who live here rather than the outside interests.

We are values based and people powered. We need your contributions to be successful. We promise to use your donations wisely and strategically to fund independent campaigns in support of candidates who will represent our core common interests.

PAC donations are not tax deductible. Our periodic reports on expenditures are posted online. We are registered as a political action committee with the Delaware Department of Elections. 

SOS PAC bylaws may be found here.
