In this episode, Rebecca is joined by Lauren Vella, principal of the Delaware office at Cornerstone Government Affairs, for a look ahead at what to expect from the Delaware General Assembly. They discuss leadership continuity, recent special sessions, and the governor’s priorities as lawmakers return for the second year of the two-year session. The conversation covers major issues likely to dominate the year, including the state budget, education funding and school district consolidation, housing affordability, property tax reassessments, energy costs, data centers, and healthcare oversight. Lauren also breaks down the political landscape heading into the 2026 election cycle and explains how federal action continues to shape state-level policymaking in Delaware.
