We have some great news for you -- but it requires a little bit of backstory. Bear with us.

As you probably already know, Beau Biden's number one priority as Delaware's Attorney General was protecting children. One of the most significant cases that occurred during Beau's tenure as Attorney General involved a pediatrician who molested over a hundred children.

Beau and his team took on the case. And convicting the criminal wasn't enough -- Beau wanted to take significant steps to prevent children from suffering abuse. He wanted to make sure Delaware had the best laws in the nation.

With Beau's leadership and a committed legislature and Governor, Delaware implemented new protections for children. And now a new report shows that those laws have worked.

We wanted to make sure you saw this new article out from WHYY public radio:

Those measures came after a review of the state's existing laws by Delaware's then-Attorney General Beau Biden. Those reforms included a reorganization of the state Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline to add more members of the public. That board was also given more power to suspend medical licenses faster when there is a threat to the public. The reforms also increased reporting requirements and penalties for those who fail to report child abuse...

This is Beau's legacy. These are the results we strive for -- and there's no reason this success should be confined to Delaware. These laws could serve as a blueprint for the rest of the nation.

This is the work that we continue in Beau's honor. We want to see every state pass similar laws. We want every state to strengthen protections for children and aggressively pursue perpetrators. And none of our efforts would be possible without the dedicated support of people like you.
