Candidates for Delaware Treasurer Addressing 14th RD Dems February 9th
The two Democratic candidates for Delaware State Treasurer will address the next meeting of the 14th Representative District Democratic Committee on Monday, Feb. 9. Ted Lauzen is an investment manager and co-founder of Grey Fox Wealth Advisors in Wilmington. Michael Smith is an economist who served as a legislative aide in the Delaware General Assembly and founded the nonprofit Powering our Future, promoting clean energy.
The program will begin at 5 p.m. with a Dutch treat dinner, followed by remarks from Lauzen and Smith, and committee business at 6:00. All registered Democrats are welcome to participate, with the location of the event provided to those who send an RSVP by Sunday, Feb. 8, if you plan to attend (for dinner/beverages or the speakers/business meeting only).
An investment advisor with a broad background, Lauzen has flown attack helicopters for the Marines, competed in several Modern Pentathlon World Cup tournaments, and earned an MBA from The Wharton School and a JD from Penn Law. As a partner at Grey Fox, he provides financial planning and consulting services to Delaware families, businesses and nonprofits. He’s written that he’s running for office to provide “steady, experienced financial leadership that’s focused on long-term stability and success.”
Smith brings a background in economic analysis, public service and Democratic organizing to the race. He holds a master’s degree in public policy economics from the University of Alabama and has worked at leading economic and financial analysis firms, including Secretariat Economists and Cornerstone Research. He’s served on the boards of the College Democrats of America, Delaware Young Democrats and his local Democratic Committee, as well as volunteered at the Newark Branch of the NAACP.

Mary Boggi
Mary Boggi has been elected the new chairperson of the 14th RD Democratic Committee, taking over from acting chair Dick Byrne. With more than a dozen years of Democratic activism, she most recently served as chair of the group’s fundraising committee and its popular Blue Wave Gala. In addition, she is director of public relations and communications for the Sussex Preservation Coalition.
Tim Buchholz
Tim Buchholz, who previously served as chairman of the Loudoun County (VA) Democratic Committee, was elected treasurer of the 14th RD committee. Buchholz, a retired marketing executive, helped Democrats make electoral inroads in an area that had been staunchly Republican for years. He’s been active in politics for most of his life and, at the 14th RD committee, served on the get-out-the-vote and bylaws committees.
Virginia Roach Yukins
In addition, Delaware Democrats elected Virginia Roach Yukins, Ed.D., to be secretary of the 14th RD committee. Roach Yukins, a former dean of the graduate schools of education at both Fordham University and Bank Street College of Education, brings to the position experience as a teacher, policy advocate, nonprofit leader and university administrator. Since moving to Rehoboth Beach in 2021, she has also become secretary of the Rehoboth Beach Sunrise Rotary Club.
