The district encompasses the entire state of Delaware. The race was an effort to unseat long-term Republican incumbent Michael Castle from the US House of Representatives. The primary election was won by his opponent, Karen Hartly-Nagle (with Northington securing 34.5% of the vote), who went on to lose the general election to Castle. Northington is a lifelong Democrat. A veterinarian and small businessman by profession, he describes himself as "a veteran for peace, education and healthcare." ==Early life== Dr. Jerry Northington was born in 1946 in Mayfield, Kentucky.
