Delaware Senate

A legislative effort that started in Delaware’s House of Representatives two years ago is coming full circle.

Senate President Pro Tem Dave Sokola (D-Newark) told his fellow lawmakers during Thursday’s Senate session that he plans to retire from office after the current legislative session.

A democrat, Nisha Lodhavia filed her candidacy for Delaware’s senate district 15 on Monday.

State Representatives will meet in Dover next Thursday for a special session to address the $400 million revenue shortfall and vote on the delay.

Retired Brigadier General Karen Berry is unanimously confirmed by the Delaware Senate as the inaugural Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

Gov. Matt Meyer says he believes his relationship with Democratic lawmakers is "good" following his veto announcements, but the Senate Democrats chief of staff says "things are definitely not in a great place."

Gov. Matt Meyer signs a controversial offshore wind bill into law and legislators reach a compromise over the fiscal year 26 Bond Bill.

The legislature passes a slate of key bills on its last day of the legislative session, working into the early morning hours on Tuesday.

Senate Republicans announce they will not vote in favor of Delaware's Bond Bill — an allocation of $977 million for capital projects across the state — unless the House votes against a bill that would override a Sussex County Council decision that is holding up an offshore wind project.

To kickoff lawmaker's first day back in the capitol, the Delaware Senate passed two partisan bills that now head to the House for consideration.
