Delaware's 2nd Senate district is one of 21 districts in the Delaware Senate. It has been represented by Democrat Darius Brown since 2018, succeeding fellow Democrat Margaret Rose Henry.[3] It is the most Democratic-leaning district in the Senate.
District 2 is based in southern and eastern Wilmington along the Delaware River in New Castle County, also covering Minquadale and parts of New Castle and Edgemoor.[4] [5]
Like all districts in the state, the 2nd Senate district is located entirely within Delaware's at-large congressional district. It overlaps with the 1st, 2nd, 6th, 16th, and 17th districts of the Delaware House of Representatives.[6] The district borders New Jersey.[1]
Delaware Senators are elected to staggered four-year terms. Under normal circumstances, the 2nd district holds elections in midterm years, except immediately after redistricting, when all seats are up for election regardless of usual cycle.
