DOVER— Governor Matt Meyer today released the following statement in response to Senate President Pro Tempore Dave Sokola’s announcement that he will not seek reelection:

“Senator Dave Sokola is a leader whose steady presence and thoughtful approach have helped shape public service in our state for a generation. He leads with heart as much as with principle, and I never doubt his sincerity, his respect for this institution, or his deep care for the people we both serve. He brings a quiet strength to his work that steadies the room, and a conviction that reminds all of us why we chose to serve.

“As he prepares to close this chapter, Dave leaves more than a record of legislation — he leaves an enduring example of what it means to lead with integrity, humility, and grace.

“I look forward to a productive session ahead and to working with Dave for one more year to bring a new, fair public education funding formula across the finish line for the students and families of Delaware. Our state is stronger because of his voice, his judgment, and his spirit.”
