Lt. Governor Kyle Evans Gay is a mom, an attorney, an advocate, a former State Senator, and Delaware’s 27th Lieutenant Governor. She ran for office to help Delaware working families thrive.

Governor Gay is a long-standing advocate for equity and justice — helping pass the Equal Rights Amendment in the First State, leading a Period Equity Initiative as President of the Junior League of Wilmington, and working to expand access to legal services as the Chair of the Delaware Bar Foundation.

Her commitment to public service continued when she was elected in 2020 to the Delaware General Assembly, representing the Fifth Senate District. As a State Senator, she prioritized early education, voting rights, reproductive healthcare, criminal justice reform, and protecting vulnerable populations.

Lt. Governor Gay carries these experiences into her current role. In addition to carrying out her constitutional duties, she chairs the Delaware Behavioral Health Consortium, the Delaware Food is Medicine Committee, and the Interagency Resource Management Committee. She hosts monthly forums, engaging with community leaders and advocates to help shape policies that reflect the diverse experiences of Delawareans.

As Lt. Governor, she is focused on improving the early education system, growing Delaware’s workforce, expanding reproductive healthcare access, and increasing resources for veterans and first responders. 

​She enjoys hiking, baking, and cheering on the Philadelphia Union with her husband and two daughters.
