We've told you about us, we want to hear from you. Share your ideas and comments with us.










I agree that my ideas are my own and I have the right to provide them to the State of Delaware and they are not confidential, and that there will be no compensation for providing these ideas and they may be used by the State of Delaware at any time and in any way.
GEAR is seeking specific ideas and comments on how to make the delivery of State government services more efficient. General constituent inquiries, requests, and complaints about State government services, programs, decisions or proposals should be directed to the Governor’s Constituent Relations Team at OGOV@Delaware.gov. The Governor’s Constituent Relations Team staff will be able to get these general constituent inquiries, requests and complaints addressed more expeditiously than the GEAR staff. Thank you.
