Races to Watch: Democrats seek to hold House District 20 seat
As part of our 2026 Election coverage, Delaware Public Media is highlighting a series of “Races to Watch” ahead of November's General election.
One storyline we are focusing on is Democrats' effort to deliver a complete super majority in the House. As it stands, Democrats are just one seat away - so they need to flip one Republican held seat, while holding the seats they have.
One seat they need to protect is House District 20 and Delaware Public Media’s Isreal Hale offers a look at the candidates there and where they stand on key issues.

Delaware Public Media’s Martin Matheny delves into the race in House District 41.
