Attorney General — Delaware
Delaware Attorney General · educational cover · justice civic · American Future Type
What this office is
The Attorney General of Delaware is the state’s lawyer. One office. The whole state. The term is four years. The next regular election is Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Confirm the clock, and the Attorney General of record, on official Delaware sites. This office has no term limit — that is a clock fact, not a crown.
This is not the Governor. Delaware’s Governor is not on the 2026 ballot (next regular 2028). This is not a United States Attorney. This is not a county prosecutor. This office is the lawyer for Delaware.
Dover is the capital. Wilmington is not the capital. Three counties hire the same Attorney General.

How the job fits this community
The inbox is a state inbox: a capital file from Dover that is not a Wilmington skyline, a beach-county consumer file, a corporate-docket year that is still a state file, and a public-integrity file that is not a mayor’s desk.
Staff who only know Wilmington as the whole state are not doing the job. Maryland is a different state. Pennsylvania is a different state. New Jersey is a different state. The first state remains Delaware.
What the job entails
- Represent the state. Not a legislator. Not the Governor.
- Opinions where Delaware law actually gives them.
- Civil and criminal matters the constitution and statutes actually assign.
- Consumer and public-integrity files that are state files.
- Two homes. Dover for the job. The rest of the state for the people who hired the office.
