Rep. William I. Houghton, D-Swanwyck Gardens, is retiring after 22 years in the Delaware House of Representatives. Houghton said he would not seek re-election to the 16th district seat so that he can spend more time with his family.

"My grandchildren are growing up quickly, and at this stage of my life I am determined to not miss the important moments in their lives," he said.

Houghton, 77, is a veteran of World War II and a former New Castle County sheriff. He was first elected to the House in 1982 and serves on the Joint Finance Committee.

"I am proud of my work for my constituents and I have received great satisfaction in serving them and being a part of the decision-making process on many issues of importance to our state," Houghton said.
