JOHN SHULLI LAUNCHES NEW VIDEO HIGHLIGHTING VISION FOR AMERICAN ENERGY ABUNDANCE AND NUCLEAR INNOVATION
U.S. Senate Candidate Proposes Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) to Power Delaware’s Economy, Lower Costs, and Secure AI Supremacy.
WILMINGTON, DE — Today, John Shulli, candidate for the United States Senate in Delaware, announced the release of a new campaign video addressing America's urgent need for "Energy Abundance." In the video, Shulli outlines a bold roadmap to transform the First State into the epicenter of a new American industrial renaissance by leveraging advanced nuclear technology and rapid infrastructure deployment.
Grounded in his official platform document, the Shulli for Senate Campaign Platform, Shulli argues that achieving absolute regional and national energy self-sufficiency is the single most critical factor to securing long-term economic freedom and national security.
"We cannot build a 21st-century superpower economy on a starved power grid," Shulli stated. "True energy dominance means moving past the short-termism of Wall Street and building 100-year strategic assets. By pioneering advanced nuclear solutions right here in Delaware, we can dramatically lower residential energy bills for working families while powering the massive computing infrastructure required to win the global AI race against adversaries like China."
Key Pillars of the Energy Abundance Vision
In the video and accompanying strategy document, Delaware Going National, John Shulli details a comprehensive, pro-growth energy agenda:
-
A Manhattan-Style SMR Program: Funding an aggressive federal initiative to accelerate the deployment of Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMRs) co-located with next-generation AI data centers and research hubs.
-
Firm, Dispatchable Baseload Power: Delivering the high-output, reliable electricity required to fuel a manufacturing revival, secure the domestic supply chain, and power a booming digital economy.
-
The Delaware National Pilot: Utilizing Delaware’s concentrated size and existing bipartisan Nuclear Energy Feasibility Task Force to bypass federal red tape, allowing for faster regulatory permitting and construction cycles than any other state.
-
Traditional Energy Dominance: Unleashing American oil, natural gas, and coal resources to naturally crush inflation, lower interest rates, and slash utility costs for families.
-
The Fusion Tax Exclusion Zone: Implementing a targeted federal tax exemption for qualified fusion energy companies and their employees to ensure America is the first nation to commercialize perpetual energy hegemony.
This strategic blueprint echoes the strong military and leadership principles, where Lieutenant General Mike Flynn endorsed Shulli as a warrior and team builder who stands firm in his convictions to rebuild an economy driven by reliable energy and industrial strength.
About Colonel John Shulli
As detailed in the John Shulli Biography, Colonel John Shulli is a Delaware native who has dedicated more than 29 years to defending American interests abroad and leading soldiers at home. A graduate of the U.S. Army War College, Shulli previously served in the Office of the Secretary of Defense as a Policy Analyst and Data Mesh Program Manager at the Pentagon, giving him deep expertise in cutting-edge technology and federal infrastructure systems.

JOHN SHULLI ISSUES MEMORIAL DAY STATEMENT: "HONORING THE FALLEN MEANS PUTTING OUR VETERANS FIRST"
U.S. Senate Candidate and 29-Year Army Veteran Outlines Bold Plan to Reform Veteran Healthcare, Tackle PTSD, and End Veteran Homelessness.
WILMINGTON, DE — Today, John Shulli, candidate for the United States Senate in Delaware, released the following statement in observance of Memorial Day, honoring the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to the United States of America.
As a Delaware native and U.S. Army Colonel with more than 28 years of service—including deployments as a battle staff planner during Operation Iraqi Freedom—Shulli spoke to the deep, personal significance of this day.
"Memorial Day is a solemn reminder of the steep price of our freedom," said Colonel Shulli. "We remember the heroes who stood in the gap, left their families, and gave their last full measure of devotion. But true remembrance demands more than just words or annual ceremonies. We honor the fallen by fiercely defending the liberties they died to protect, and by keeping our sacred promise to the brothers and sisters-in-arms they left behind. Right now, the political establishment is failing those who served. In Washington, I will ensure we stop treating our veterans as an afterthought and finally put them first."
The "Veterans First" Platform
As part of his core PROTECT campaign pillar, John Shulli highlighted concrete, strategic solutions to reform the current system and restore dignity to America’s heroes:
-
Complete Non-VA Care Access: Empowering veterans with full private choice, allowing them to bypass bureaucratic red tape and see local doctors immediately.
-
Ending Veteran Homelessness: Shifting public funding away from housing illegal aliens and directly redirecting those savings to housing homeless veterans.
-
Advanced PTSD Support: Expanding resources and cutting-edge therapy options for veterans battling PTSD.
-
Defending Constitutional Rights: Ensuring that the fundamental liberties veterans fought to protect—including free speech and constitutional sovereignty—are robustly guarded at home.
Shulli emphasized that his background as a non-career political insider, combined with his decades of experience navigating complex defense architecture at the Pentagon and U.S. European Command, gives him the unique capability to dismantle entrenched bureaucratic machinery in Washington to deliver real results for Delaware's military families.
About Colonel John Shulli
He is an America First conservative running for the U.S. Senate in Delaware. Commissioned in 1997, his distinguished 29-year military career spans from serving as a Tank Platoon Leader in South Korea to managing critical defense data infrastructure programs at the Pentagon. Endorsed by Lieutenant General Mike Flynn for his unwavering commitment to American freedom and exceptionalism, Shulli resides in Wilmington with his wife, Gillian, and daughter, Emily.

13 MAY 2026, Announces Bold "Make America Healthy Act" (MAHA) To Rebuild Healthcare And Crush Insurance Monopolies
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Website: shulli.org
JOHN SHULLI ANNOUNCES BOLD "MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY ACT" (MAHA) TO REBUILD HEALTHCARE AND CRUSH INSURANCE MONOPOLIES
WILMINGTON, DE — Today, U.S. Senate Candidate Colonel John Shulli announced a comprehensive policy offensive calling for the immediate passage of the Make America Healthy Act (MAHA). Outlined in a newly released campaign video, the MAHA Act forms a core component of Shulli’s institutional reform agenda to dismantle entrenched political machinery, safeguard the nation's food supply, and fundamentally rebuild the American healthcare system.
As part of his "Renaissance Engine" platform—which leverages Delaware’s unique position as a high-velocity testing ground for national solutions—Shulli emphasizes that reforming healthcare is essential to securing long-term economic growth and human capital.
The Core Pillars of the MAHA Act
The Make America Healthy Act seeks to break up corporate insurance dominance and return medical freedom directly to patients through five strategic directives:
-
Direct Funding to Citizens: Allocate healthcare funding directly to individual Americans rather than allowing it to be absorbed by insurance conglomerates.
-
Absolute Price Transparency: Mandate strict price transparency for all medical services and pharmaceutical drugs to foster open, honest market competition.
-
Decoupling Care from Insurance: Formally separate health insurance operations from the ownership and control of medical care delivery systems.
-
Ending Big Pharma Immunity: Remove litigation immunity for drug and vaccine manufacturers to ensure absolute corporate accountability.
-
The "Costco Model" for Coverage: Legalize and scale the high-volume, low-cost "Costco Model" for health insurance to drive down premiums for working families.
From U.S. Senate Candidate John Shulli:
"For too long, Wall Street greed and corporate insurance monopolies have looted our critical healthcare infrastructure while forcing working families to foot the bill," said John Shulli. "Delaware is America's smallest laboratory for the largest challenges we face. By implementing the MAHA Act, we stop subsidizing the middlemen, protect our domestic food and health supply chains, and empower individuals over federal bureaucrats. What works to restore health and freedom in Delaware can—and will—scale to the rest of the nation."
Delaware as the Blueprint for National Reform
The MAHA Act integrates directly with Shulli’s broader economic and industrial strategy. By slashing federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) red tape, stabilizing the dollar to crush inflation, and cutting environmental overreach, Shulli’s platform focuses on lowering the baseline cost of living for families while maximizing their health and financial security.
About Colonel John Shulli
John is a Delaware native with over 29 years of service defending American interests and leading soldiers globally, including deployments during Operation Iraqi Freedom and strategic leadership roles within the U.S. European Command (EUCOM). Professionally trained in defense technology and complex policy, Shulli previously served as a Policy Analyst and Data Mesh Program Manager within the Office of the Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon. An authentic, America First conservative challenger for the U.S. Senate, Shulli has earned the full endorsement of Lieutenant General Michael T. Flynn.

10 MAY 2026, Strategic Realignment: Calls To Bring American Troops Home From Europe
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: June 18, 2026
Location: Wilmington, DE
Contact: Shulli for Senate Campaign
Website: shulli.org
JOHN SHULLI DEMANDS STRATEGIC REALIGNMENT: CALLS TO BRING AMERICAN TROOPS HOME FROM EUROPE
WILMINGTON, DE — Today, U.S. Senate Candidate Colonel John Shulli released a decisive policy directive calling for an immediate strategic realignment of American military commitments, explicitly advocating to bring American troops home from Europe. Outlined in his latest policy video, Shulli's proposal targets the Washington establishment’s reliance on endless foreign subsidies, demanding a return to an "America First" defense posture that prioritizes homeland sovereignty and domestic strength over permanent overseas policing.
Unmatched Strategic Expertise on European Security
Unlike career political insiders, John Shulli speaks from decades of direct, high-level operational experience within the European theater. He is a U.S. Army Colonel with over 29 years of service, which includes a critical deployment to Heidelberg, Germany, and senior strategic assignments at U.S. European Command (EUCOM). During his tenure at EUCOM, Shulli served as a Country Desk Officer for multiple European nations and as the Chief of Operations for the Russia Strategy Initiative (RSI), directly supporting high-level interagency efforts.
This deep expertise is underscored in Lieutenant General Michael T. Flynn endorsement which highlighted Shulli's steady, unyielding leadership in the military's most demanding environments, validating him as a leader who understands how to execute complex strategic transitions.
The "Peace Through Strength" Strategy
Shulli's directive to bring American service members home is a core pillar of the institutional and defense reforms outlined in the Shulli for Senate Campaign Platform. The strategy demands a total overhaul of transatlantic defense agreements through four key actions:
-
Enforce the 5% NATO Standard: Force European allies to eliminate their reliance on American taxpayers by requiring a minimum 5% GDP defense spending standard.
-
End the Ukraine War: Freeze the current battle lines, declare Ukraine a neutral state, and halt the unrestricted flow of domestic capital into foreign conflicts.
-
Disrupt the Russia-China Alliance: Offer strategic diplomatic off-ramps to decouple Moscow from Beijing, reorienting American focus toward our primary 21st-century global competitor.
-
Fund the Golden Dome Defense: Redirect defense savings to build a state-of-the-art missile defense shield manufactured 100% domestically to protect the American homeland.
From U.S. Senate Candidate John Shulli:
"For decades, the Washington establishment has hollowed out our domestic manufacturing base and ignored our own borders while spending billions to guarantee the security of European nations that refuse to fund their own defense," said John Shulli. "Having served on the ground in Germany and as a desk officer at U.S. European Command, I know exactly how these bureaucracies operate. The era of the blank check is over. It's time to bring our troops home, secure our nation, and ensure our defense infrastructure is built to protect American families, not globalist status quos."
About Colonel John Shulli
John is a Delaware native, U.S. Army War College graduate, and a 29-year military veteran who has bridged top-tier command with sophisticated civilian policy. In addition to his extensive overseas deployments and joint assignments at EUCOM, Shulli served within the Office of the Secretary of Defense as a Policy Analyst and Data Mesh Program Manager at the Pentagon. Supported by grassroots momentum and high-profile veterans like General Mike Flynn, Shulli is running to dismantle entrenched political machinery and deliver generational economic and defensive security to the people of Delaware and America.

23 Apr 2026, General Flynn Endorses John Shulli for US Senate

There is No Substitute for American Freedom and Exceptionalism
John Shulli has my full endorsement for the United States Senate from the great State of Delaware.
John is a fellow Soldier and American who puts duty, honor, and country first. As an Army Colonel with over 28 years of service, including deployments in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and senior strategic assignments at U.S. European Command, he has led in the most demanding environments our nation can place a man in. That matters. Pressure reveals character, and John has proven his.
He is not a politician. He is a warrior. He is a team builder. He is a leader who understands how to execute.
John Shulli will protect American sovereignty and public safety. He will help rebuild an economy worthy of a superpower, driven by reliable energy, strong industry, and sound fiscal principles. He knows education must prepare our next generation to compete, win, and lead.
What sets John apart is clarity and consistency. He stands firm in his convictions and does not recalibrate his principles based on circumstance or advantage. In a time when voters have seen too many shifting positions and convenient reinventions, that kind of steady leadership is rare; and it matters.
There is a clear choice in this race. On April 25, I encourage every delegate at the Delaware Republican Party Convention to cast their vote for John Shulli, and then again in the primary and general elections. This is a moment that requires clarity, conviction, and courage.
John is the right leader at the right time.
God Bless you, God Bless Delaware, and God Bless the United States of America.
Sincerely,
Michael T. Flynn
Lieutenant General, USA (Ret.)

29 Jan 2026, Leftists Have Seized Control of Delaware
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
US Senate Candidate John Shulli issues the following statement: Leftists have seized control over Delaware's Democrat Party.
Wilmington, DE – January 29, 2026 – Today, Democrats in Dover overrode a gubernatorial veto and advanced another in the state senate. The first bill forces subcontractors to report tax withholdings – a move that will disproportionately expose immigrant workers to potential ICE scrutiny when they comply. The second loosens restrictions on marijuana sales, potentially forcing local communities to accept dispensaries closer to homes, schools, and playgrounds.
On the surface these overrides seem contradictory and self-defeating. But the real story is clearer: moderate Democrats no longer control their party. The radical Left does.
They are raiding Delaware’s underground economy to generate more revenue for expansive government programs while simultaneously relaxing marijuana rules to energize their activist base. This is not pragmatism – it is ideology over common sense.
If this momentum is not stopped, Delaware risks becoming the Portland of the East Coast: high taxes, declining quality of life, and policies that prioritize progressive symbolism over working families.
I call on Republicans across our state to mobilize and support strong conservative candidates for the General Assembly to take back the legislature and restore balance.
I also call on moderate Democrats who feel pushed out of their own party – some of whom are now running as Republicans, such as Mike Katz for Senate and Earl Cooper for the House – to return to the Democratic Party and primary the entrenched Leftist incumbents. Republicans do not need more RINOs; we need principled fighters on both sides of the aisle.
To Delaware’s independents: now is the moment to choose. Do you want a future that mirrors the struggles of Seattle and Portland, or do you want a Delaware Renaissance – abundant energy, high-paying jobs, world-class education, and pride in our shared heritage?
Help make the First State, first again by leading America into a new era of growth and prosperity by combining the most audacious technologies of today into the innovations and jobs of tomorrow.
The time is now to live Delaware’s motto: Liberty and Independence.
Thank you, and God bless Delaware and the United States of America.

WILMINGTON, Del. – January 14, 2026 – I'm John Shulli, and today I’m announcing my candidacy for US Senate for the great State of Delaware.

03 Jan 2026, Statement of Full Support for Operation Absolute Resolve
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Statement of Full Support for Operation Absolute Resolve
WILMINGTON, Del. – January 3, 2026 – Following the Commander-in-Chief's announcement regarding the successful military intervention in Venezuela, President Trump has John Shulli’s unreserved support for Operation Absolute Resolve and the capture of Nicolás Maduro.
"Today marks a historic victory for justice, national security, and the cause of freedom in the Western Hemisphere.
I fully endorse the decisive action taken by President Trump and the United States Armed Forces to dismantle the illegitimate, narco-terrorist regime that has held Venezuela hostage for too long and allowed drugs to kill tens of thousands of our citizens.
The briefing made clear that this operation was both strategically necessary and morally imperative. By capturing the leadership of the 'Cartel of the Suns,' the United States has sent an unmistakable message: we will not tolerate criminal dictatorships that poison our communities with illicit drugs and destabilize our region.
The doctrine of 'Peace Through Strength' has been applied with precision, and the results speak for themselves. I commend the extraordinary bravery and skill of the elite service members who executed this complex mission without the loss of American life. Their professionalism has delivered a blow to tyranny and opened the door to a new era of prosperity and democracy for the Venezuelan people.
I stand firmly behind the Administration’s commitment to seeing this transition through and ensuring that justice is served in American courts.
Thank you and God bless the USA."
