Dover, DE–Insurance Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart announced today that she has named Jerry Grant as the Communications Director for the Department of Insurance.

“I’ve known Jerry for many years, and his communications skills and knowledge of the way the Legislature works will help us get the Department’s message out more effectively” said Stewart. “We were lucky to get him.”

Grant spent nine years with the Democratic Caucus in the State House of Representatives, the last two as Deputy Chief of Staff. Since February he has served as the analyst for the bipartisan Joint Sunset Committee in the General Assembly. He is a graduate of Salesianum School and the University of Delaware, and obtained a Juris Doctorate from Widener University School of Law in 1999. He practiced as an attorney in Pennsylvania and New Jersey before starting work in the House in 2005.

Grant has experience with implementation of the Affordable Care Act and with professional licensing practices, both concerns of the Department. “I’m anxious to get the word out about the good things the Department is doing right now, and help shape their plans for the future,” he said.

Grant served three terms on Newark City Council from 1994-2000 and was a candidate for state representative from the Newark area in 2012. He has also hosted a popular radio show on UD’s WVUD 91.3FM for 34 years.
