Moultrie nominated as state Secretary of Labor
Governor-elect Matt Meyer has pinged another member of his incoming cabinet – native Delawarean and William Penn High School graduate LaKresha Moultrie.
She brings decades of legal experience to the state table including roles such as vice president of legal affairs, general counsel and chief enterprise risk officer at the First State’s only historically black college Delaware State University.
Over the years, she has held several roles with the state of Delaware varying from clerk for the chief judge of Delaware’s family court to entry-level prosecutor to chief deputy attorney general. She served as the deputy attorney general for the Delaware Department of Justice for five years and was later appointed as the director of the Family Division for the department for two years.
“LaKresha brings a wealth of experience, passion, and a deep understanding of the challenges facing Delaware’s workers. She is a proven leader with a track record of empowering individuals, advocating for workers’ rights, and driving economic growth,” Meyer said in the press release. “Her leadership will be critical in building a Delaware where every worker can thrive, from expanding workforce training to ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions.”
