Delaware is located in the Northeastern region of the USA with Dover as its capital.  John Carney (D) is Governor

The Delaware legislature has 56 Senate members and 180 House members.

Matthew S. Meyer (born September 29, 1971) is an American politician and attorney who served as the 11th New Castle County executive from 2017 to 2025. He is a member of the Democratic Party.

Meyer is the governor of Delaware, following his win in the 2024 Delaware gubernatorial election to replace term-limited incumbent governor John Carney, winning against Republican nominee Mike Ramone in the general election.

The Delaware General Assembly is the legislature of the U.S. state of Delaware. It is a bicameral legislature composed of the Delaware Senate with 21 senators and the Delaware House of Representatives with 41 representatives. It meets at Legislative Hall in Dover, Delaware, convening on the second Tuesday of January of odd-numbered years, with a second session of the same Assembly convening likewise in even-numbered years. Normally the sessions are required to adjourn by the last day of June of the same calendar year. However the Governor can call a special session of the legislature at any time.

Members are elected from single-member districts, all apportioned to roughly equal populations after each decennial Census. Elections are held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November and about one-half of the Senate is elected every two years for a four-year term, and the entire House of Representatives is elected every two years for a two-year term. Vacancies are filled through special elections. There are no term limits for either chamber.

With 62 seats, the Delaware General Assembly is the second-smallest bicameral state legislature in the United States – ahead of Alaska (60 seats) and behind Nevada (63).

Direct relief for families in the midst of a pandemic shouldn’t be a partisan issue. That’s why I’m introducing the Coronavirus Assistance for American Families Act w/ @RepMcKinley to provide $1,400 for individuals and an additional $1,400 for dependents.

The US onAir Network will be working with volunteers from Delaware universities, colleges, and nonprofit organizations to oversee the curation and moderation of posts, aircasts (online discussions), and in person events for the Delaware onAir Hub …  related to federal, state, and local elections and government.

Our first outreach will be to University of Delaware partly because of its proximity to the state capital. We have identified many of University of Delaware’s civic engagement, academic, internship and research programs related to making democracy and civic responsibility a focus of higher learning on their campus … for students, faculty, staff, and local community. This post, over time, will have similar information on other collaborating organizations in the state.

Delaware is a state in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. It borders Maryland to its south and west, Pennsylvania to its north, New Jersey to its northeast, and the Atlantic Ocean to its east. The state’s name derives from the adjacent Delaware Bay, which in turn was named after Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr, an English nobleman and the Colony of Virginia’s first colonial-era governor.

Delaware occupies the northeastern portion of the Delmarva Peninsula, and some islands and territory within the Delaware River. It is the 2nd smallest and 6th least populous state, but also the 6th most densely populated. Delaware’s most populous city is Wilmington, and the state’s capital is Dover, the 2nd most populous city in Delaware. The state is divided into three counties, the fewest number of counties of any of the 50 U.S. states;[b] from north to south, the three counties are: New Castle County, Kent County, and Sussex County.
