A retired federal civil servant and a multi-degree black belt-holder across several disciplines, Mo Madden served for nearly 23 years at the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) and more than 7 years at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) with a Master's degree in physics. Mo was also a proud union member, part of Goddard Engineers, Scientists and Technicians Association (GESTA) IFPTE Local 29.

Through her role as an Deputy Director for the NESDIS Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR) at NOAA, Mo led large teams to solve tough economic and environmental issues. This includes successfully negotiating against budget cuts that saved a coral reef restoration program from being shut down. She knows the importance of building bridges and making important connections when working to solve issues. It’s not always having the solution, it’s knowing who has the solution. 

Mo’s lifelong commitment to helping her community extends beyond her career as a public servant. She founded Save Our Schools, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to raising the quality of public education as well as served as a volunteer firefighter and EMT in Maryland. Most recently, Mo has remained committed to strengthening her community as a member of the Lord Baltimore’s Women’s Lunch Group in Sussex County.

A proud resident of Dagsboro, she's running for state house in Delaware's 38th district because it's time our community gets the representation it deserves. After 23 years of Republican control, it’s time for change within our district. Mo is consistent and persistent in pursuing common-sense solutions to better her community.
