Disability Day in Legislative Hall Dover, DE

I spent the day at Delaware's capital meeting with my old & new friends at Legislative Hall! Of course I was excited to see our Governor, Jack Markell and we relived our moment from the DFRC Blue Gold game last year. I also got to have my first meeting with Lt. Governor Matt Denn who let me use the gavel to bring the Senate in session. Then Sec. Rita Landgraf saw me in the lobby and we got to catch up with each other. I also got to meet many other awesome State legislators like House Speaker Pete Schwartzkopf (who said the Pledge of Allegiance with me), Majority Leader Valerie Longhurst (she let me sit at her desk), Rep. Melanie George Smith (she loves pink just like me), Sen. Nicole Poore (we chatted it up in the hallway), Rep. Quinn Johnson (he sticks up for me), & Sen. Ernie Lopez (he said he would do anything for me)! I also met a ton of awesome advocates and reunited with some of my favorite people. Even Logan helped out, but he got tired and had to take a quick nap. All together it was an amazing day in Dover advocating for people with disabilities and I think we made a big difference!
