Delaware's 19th Senate district is one of 21 districts in the Delaware Senate. It has been represented by Republican Brian Pettyjohn since 2012.[3]
District 19 covers central Sussex County, including the communities of Georgetown, Bridgeville, and Long Neck.[4] [5] It borders the state of Maryland.[1]
Like all districts in the state, the 19th Senate district is located entirely within Delaware's at-large congressional district. It overlaps with the 20th, 35th, 36th, 37th, 39th, 40th, and 41st districts of the Delaware House of Representatives.[6]
Delaware Senators are elected to staggered four-year terms. Under normal circumstances, the 19th district holds elections in presidential years, except immediately after redistricting, when all seats are up for election regardless of usual cycle.
