As the local arm of the Delaware Democratic Party we represent Rehoboth, Dewey & southern Lewes. We meet on the 2nd Wed. of the month
The 14th Representative District Democratic Committee has elected three new officers to serve until the 2028 presidential election. The committee—an affiliate of the Democratic Party serving Rehoboth Beach, southern Lewes and Dewey Beach—works to elect Democratic candidates in the 14th District and across Delaware.

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, 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.

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.
At yesterday’s meeting, the committee also elected two new members: Gail Atchison, Ph.D., a therapist, veteran and ordained minister with the Metropolitan Community Church; and Lorrie Thier, a community activist and volunteer at several nonprofits who recently managed the campaign of her husband, Rehoboth Beach Commissioner Craig Thier.
The 14th RD committee is considered one of the most active political party committees in Delaware, fulfilling its mission to elect Democratic candidates. During the 2024 general election, the group was instrumental in the victories of local Democratic candidates Sen. Russ Huxtable, Rep. Claire Snyder-Hall and Sussex County Councilmember Jane Gruenebaum.
Meetings of the 14th RD Democratic Committ occur on the second Monday of each month. All registered Democrats are welcome to participate, with the location provided to those who RSVP at de14rddems@gmail.com. Learn more at 14thRDDelDems.com.
Rehoboth Beach, Del., Jan. 7, 2026 – The 14th Representative District Democratic Committee will host two Delaware leaders at its next meeting on Jan. 14 in Rehoboth Beach: Jack Young, a registered lobbyist with the League of Women Voters of Delaware, will discuss a bill to create an independent redistricting commission. In addition, the meeting will open with remarks by Delaware Insurance Commissioner Trinidad Navarro, spotlighting new insurance regulations in 2026.
The program will begin at 5:00 p.m. with a Dutch-treat dinner, followed by remarks from Young and Navarro at 6:00, and committee business at 6:30. All registered Democrats are welcome to participate, with the location of the event provided to those who send an RSVP by Jan. 13 if you plan to attend (for dinner/beverages or the speakers/business meeting only).
A former trial lawyer, Young has represented national, state and local political parties on voting rights, voter engagement and recounts since the 1980s. In 2000, he served on the team of lawyers for the Democratic National Committee during the Bush v. Gore case. More recently, he has taught election law at several university law schools, and served as an advisor in many countries on electoral justice and election procedures.
Now in his third term as Delaware’s Insurance Commissioner, Trinidad Navarro leads the office to ensure insurance affordability and availability for residents as well as the accountability of insurance companies. A lifelong Delawarean, he served for 20 years with the New Castle County Police and was elected New Castle County Sheriff in 2010. During his term as insurance commissioner, he has fostered hundreds of pro-consumer policies, regulations and legislation.
