Sens. DeLuca, Blevins and Henry nominated to Democratic leadership

Senate Democrats have named a new leadership team following the death Tuesday of Senate President Pro Tem Thurman Adams Jr.

Senate Majority Leader Anthony DeLuca (D-Newark East), was named to succeed Adams as pro tem. The post is voted on by the entire Senate, but that vote is typically considered a formality.

Senate Majority Whip Patricia Blevins (D-Elsmere), was named to the majority leader’s post and Sen. Margaret Rose Henry (D-Wilmington East), was named to serve as majority whip.
