He later served in the Delaware State Senate, where he introduced legislation on term limits, lobby reform, government transparency, and the creation of the Delaware Health Information Network (DHIN). He was elected as a Democrat in a majority-Republican district, and was so conservative that Democrats called him a Republican. He has since re-registered as a Republican.

Elected to the Delaware State Senate in a traditionally Republican district as a Democrat, Dr. Katz immediately established a record that defied party lines: term limits, government restructuring, lobby reform, and fiscal accountability. Even Democrats told him he governed like a Republican.

Elected to the Delaware State Senate in a traditionally Republican district as a Democrat, Dr. Katz immediately established a record that defied party lines: term limits, government restructuring, lobby reform, and fiscal accountability. Even Democrats told him he governed like a Republican.
Over time, it became clear that the Democratic Party had moved away from the values that had guided his career in medicine, business, and public service. Dr. Katz’s decision to register as a Republican was not a change in principle—it was an alignment with the principles he had lived by for decades.

As a business owner, I have spent decades managing budgets, evaluating risk, and building organizations where accountability is mandatory. In business, if you continuously run a massive deficit without a path to viability, you go bankrupt. Yet Washington insiders like Chris Coons continue to run our nation's balance sheet like a failed enterprise, treating your hard-earned tax dollars as an unlimited credit card.
