Before being elected to the Senate, Cordrey served two years in the House of Representatives. He also served as Secretary of Finance after his retirement from the Senate. Senate Bill 249, which named the building after Cordrey, passed unanimously in both chambers during the last General Assembly Session. Cordrey, a Millsboro area farmer, is the longest-serving Senate President Pro Tempore in Delaware history, serving in that role for 20 years and as a senator for 24 years.
