Sarah Elizabeth "Tizzy" Lockman is an American politician and member of the Democratic Party.[1][2] She serves in the Delaware Senate representing District 3, which covers parts of Wilmington, including the downtown and Riverfront areas.[3]

Early life and career

Lockman was raised on the west side of Wilmington, Delaware and graduated from Alexis I. duPont High School.[4] She received a B.A. from New York University and a M.A. from the University of Delaware.[2] She works as an adjunct professor at the University of Delaware.[2][5]

Political career

In 2014, Lockman was appointed a member of the Wilmington Education Advisory Committee (WEAC) by Governor Jack Markell, and she became vice chair when the body turned into the Wilmington Education Improvement Commission (WEIC).[5]

Lockman defeated Jordan Hines, both political novices, in the Democratic primary, in a contentious and closely watched race.[3][6] With no general election opponent, the win ensured she would succeed Robert Marshall, who had represented the area for over 40 years.[3] Lockman is the second African-American woman to be elected to the Delaware Senate, after Margaret Rose Henry, who retired the year before Lockman was elected.[7] In 2020, Lockman was elected as Senate Majority Whip.[8]

In 2024, Lockman introduced legislation to require a permit to purchase handguns in the state of Delaware. The bill was signed into law on May 16, 2024.[9]
