Geography

District 14 straddles the border between New Castle County and Kent County, covering all of Smyrna, Clayton, Odessa, Blackbird, and Leipsic, as well as parts of Middletown. [4] [5]

Like all districts in the state, the 14th Senate district is located entirely within Delaware's at-large congressional district. It overlaps with the 8th, 9th, 11th, 28th, and 29th districts of the Delaware House of Representatives. [6] The district borders Maryland to the west and New Jersey along the Delaware River. [1]

Recent election results

Delaware Senators are elected to staggered four-year terms. Under normal circumstances, the 14th district holds elections in presidential years, except immediately after redistricting, when all seats are up for election regardless of usual cycle.
