David Carter

A Trusted Voice for New Castle County

Councilmember David Carter has a long history of service, from providing us with a thriving and healthy environment through his work with the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, to educating the young people of our state as an adjunct professor at the University of Delaware, to serving as our Democratic Councilmember since 2018. With rapid growth reshaping our region, we need his expertise, energy, and ideas on County Council more than ever before. We can count on David Carter to continue to deliver community-first leadership, and protect and preserve the community we love in District 6.

Councilmember Carter has taken a stand against county policies and corporate greed that would overdevelop the area, replace our greenspace with warehouses, infiltrate our neighborhoods with industrial buildings, and increase our energy costs with massive data centers. He has fought to ensure adequate infrastructure and public amenities like emergency services keep pace with the area’s growth, and led on policy to address the impacts of the property reassessment.

He is the trusted voice of Southern New Castle County and the only person who can balance the growth of our area with the preservation of our quality of life.
