Anyone that has been reading this blog or receiving our email newsletters knows that Bill and I have been avid supporters of Jack Markell. Well, today I had the pleasure of watching Jack take the oath of office and become Delaware’s 73rd Governor. I now live in a state where I know the Governor! WOW.

He is going to be an excellent Governor and Delaware will be a state in the news for so many reasons. Jack is committed to alternative energy like solar and wind. Jack is dedicated to making our schools the best in the nation. Jack is determined to foster entrepreneurship and to help businesses grow. With Jack in the state house and Joe Biden as our nation’s Vice President, you will be very glad you chose to stay or move to Delaware. Goodbye Dela-Where? Here we are, as they say in our state song, in “our Delaware”.

There will be no Inauguration Ball in Delaware this year. Instead, Governor Markell will lead a weekend of service. He launched a new website www.betterdelaware.org to inform Delawareans and encourage everyone to volunteer their time to those in need in our state. That tells a lot about the man Jack Markell.
