Delaware's 6th Senate district is one of 21 districts in the Delaware Senate. It has been represented by Democrat Russ Huxtable since 2023, succeeding Republican Ernesto López.[3]
District 6 is based in the Cape Region in coastal Sussex County, covering Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Milton, and the surrounding communities.[4] [5]
Like all districts in the state, the 6th Senate district is located entirely within Delaware's at-large congressional district. It overlaps with the 14th, 20th, and 36th districts of the Delaware House of Representatives.[6]
Delaware Senators are elected to staggered four-year terms. Under normal circumstances, the 6th district holds elections in midterm years, except immediately after redistricting, when all seats are up for election regardless of usual cycle.
