STATEMENT: Senator Blunt Rochester Thanks Jea Street for His Years of Service

U.S. Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.) today released a statement on the retirement of New Castle County Councilman Jea Street.

"Councilman Jea Street is the true definition of a public servant. A champion for Delaware children and educational equity, as well as a fierce advocate for the Hill Top community, Jea has served the First State diligently. For well over 22 years, he represented the 10^th district as a member of the New Castle County Council where he pushed Delaware and his district forward - fighting to ensure opportunity for all.

"I am honored to have worked with him during my time leading the Metropolitan Wilmington Urban League and in so many other capacities over the years. Our state is blessed that he answered the call to uplift so many. I join friends and colleagues in wishing him a joyous and fulfilling retirement."
