Delaware enjoys its Democratic House of Representatives, and its Speaker. Bob Gilligan garners a surprisingly high 79% approval rating, making him the most popular politician in the state. This is surprising only because you would think not many people would know who he is, but then again, I am polling the readership of Delaware Liberal, a politically aware subset of the population. I fully expect Speaker Gilligan to brag about these numbers during the upcoming budget negotiations with Governor Markell.

Today we will poll House Minority Leader Greg Lavelle. Lavelle is retiring from the House so that he can run in the newly redesigned 4th Senate District against Senator Mike Katz (D). So since Minority Leaders really don’t have any job responsibilities that I am aware of, and since Lavelle is trying to garner a promotion to the Senate, I am going to ask about your opinion of Lavelle himself and his policies rather than his job performance.
