The 2022 Delaware Attorney General election took place on November 8, 2022, to elect the Attorney General of Delaware. Incumbent Democratic Attorney General Kathy Jennings won re-election to a second term.[1] However, turnout was very low and the race was closer than anticipated, with Murray's 46.17% being the Republicans' best result in this race since 2006.[citation needed]
