Nicole Poore represents the 12th Senate District, which includes most of New Castle and Bear, all of Delaware City and communities south of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal, including Whitehall, Bayberry and others. “We are excited to have such an esteemed legislative representative on our Board of Directors,” said WTC DE President Carla Stone. “We hope Senator Poore will help facilitate our local and global connections as a direct liaison to our state legislature and we welcome her as a huge asset to achieving our mission in the future.” Raised in New Castle’s Jefferson Farms community, Sen.

Poore was selected to serve as Senate Majority Whip by her peers. She then served as Senate Majority Leader from 2019 to 2021. Sen.
