J. Caleb Boggs

James Caleb Boggs (May 15, 1909-March 26, 1993) was an American politician from Delaware. He was a member of the United States Republican Party.

Boggs was born in Chiswold, Delaware . He attended rural public schools during his childhood. He went on to higher education, attending the University of Delaware and the Georgetown University Law Center. He practiced law in Dover, Delaware from 1938 until 1941 when World War II began, and he served in the United States Army until 1946. After leaving the army, he briefly became a judge.

In 1946, Boggs was elected to the United States House of Representatives from Delaware. He was reelected in 1948 and 1950. In 1952 he did not run for reelection, and instead ran for governor of Delaware. He won the election, and served as governor from 1953 until December 1960. In 1960, he ran for election to the United States Senate as the Republican challenger to Democratic senator J. Allen Frear . Boggs won the election, becoming the only Republican to gain a Democratic senate seat in that election.

Boggs served two terms in the Senate, from 1961 to 1973, being reelected in 1966. In 1964 he supported the Civil Rights Act.

Boggs was defeated for reelection in 1972 by Democrat Joe Biden. He returned to law practice, eventually retiring to Wilmington, Delaware where he died. He is interred in the Old Presbyterian cemetary in Dover, Delaware. A federal building, the J. Caleb Boggs federal building in Wilmington, Delaware, is named after him.
