“One of the things I really wanted to stress as a state representative was accessibility," Lavelle said. Of the 62 legislators in the General Assembly, Rep. Lavelle is one of less than a dozen that holds regular coffee meetings. "I like the idea of being able to offer a constituent a cup of coffee and giving them a chance to tell me about whatever is on their minds. That’s kind of a throwback to the way government was once conducted in this country and has become all too rare today. I'm glad I have the chance to keep that tradition of personal service alive in Delaware."

Greg and his wife Ruth have two children and reside in Sharpley.
