Elections in Delaware |
---|
![]() |
The 2000 United States Senate election in Delaware was held on November 7, 2000, in conjunction with the 2000 U.S. presidential election, other elections to the United States Senate in other states, as well as elections to the United States House of Representatives, and various state and local elections. Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator William Roth ran for re-election to a sixth term, but he was defeated by outgoing Democratic Governor Tom Carper.
Carper subsequently became the first Democrat to hold this seat since 1947. It was also the first time since 1943 in which both of the state's Senate seats were held by Democrats. Additionally, it was the only time Carper lost Kent County in his entire political career.
