Lt. Governor Kyle Evans Gay

Kyle Evans Gay serves as Delaware's 27th Lieutenant Governor. She seeks to help families thrive and to protect vulnerable populations by prioritizing early education, healthcare access, workforce growth, criminal justice reform and veteran support.  

Kyle joined the Junior League of Wilmington, DE, in 2015 and was its 2019-20 President, implementing the award-winning Stand Up. Period. menstrual equity initiative, and she remains an Active Member.  

She began her career as a Deputy Attorney General in the Delaware Department of Justice before clerking in Delaware Superior Court. Moving into private practice, she next represented clients in Delaware's business courts and provided pro bono services for children in foster care. Before she ran for public office, Kyle worked with a community coalition to pass Delaware's Equal Rights Amendment. Later, as a Delaware State Senator, Kyle chaired two Senate committees and co-chaired a joint oversight committee. She introduced and passed measures to create automatic voter registration at the Division of Motor Vehicles and to expand healthcare access on college campuses. She secured increased funding for early education and corrected funding disparities between counties.  

Informed and inspired by her Junior League service, she passed legislation to expand the availability of free menstrual products in schools. Now, as Lieutenant Governor, Kyle presides over the Delaware State Senate and chairs multiple state boards and commissions, including the Board of Pardons. She hosts monthly forums with community leaders to help shape policies reflecting the diverse experiences of Delawareans. For her collaborative, solutions-based approach, she was selected as a Hunt-Kean Leadership Fellow and as a Rodel Fellow.  

Kyle has served on the Public Integrity Commission, is President of the Delaware Bar Foundation, and co-founded a nonprofit to foster civic and entrepreneurial opportunities among young professionals. Kyle earned an undergraduate degree from Brown University and her juris doctor from Boston University School of Law. She and her husband live in Wilmington with their two young daughters. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, skiing, and traveling.
