Winter Storm Response and Recovery

As the state continues to dig out from this week's strong winter storm, we want to sincerely thank the utility crews, first responders, DelDOT personnel, and all the men and women who worked long hours in dangerous conditions to restore power, clear roadways, and keep our neighbors safe. Your dedication does not go unnoticed, and Delaware is grateful for your service.

Joint Finance Committee

The Joint Finance Committee has completed four weeks of its month-long budget hearings.

302 Day of Service

On March 2, 2026 (302 Day), residents across Delaware are encouraged to make it a day of service by giving back to their communities.
