DE-AG: Jennings announces re-election campaign for AG

Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings announced Thursday, Feb. 6, that she will seek re-election to a third term, citing progress on violent crime and the ongoing threat that she said a second Trump presidency poses to Delawareans.

“My job is to protect this state, and that job has never mattered more,” said Jennings. “In Delaware, our work has brought violent crime to historic lows and made our criminal justice system stronger and fairer — but that work is far from finished. And in Washington we have a president who believes he is a king, and who begins every week with a new assault on Delawareans’ fundamental rights and basic safety. The Attorney General has been, and will be, Delaware’s first line of defense in that fight.

“Every moment is precious right now, and we do not have time to waste on a big announcement. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment for our state and our country, and it’s important for Delawareans to know that I’m not standing down. I have fought my whole life to protect the safety, the rights, the freedoms and the dignity of the people of this state. This is where I’m needed.”

Since taking office in 2019, Jennings has overseen reductions in violent crime, concurrent with reductions in Delaware’s prison population and rate of recidivism. Under her leadership, the DOJ has launched enforcement initiatives against white-collar crime, government corruption and human trafficking.
