REP. TIMOTHY BOULDEN: LEAVING THE LEGISLATURE

Posted: Feb. 4, 2004

State Rep. Timothy U. Boulden, a Newark Republican, will not seek re-election to his 23^rd Representative District seat.

Rep. Boulden made the unexpected announcement on the floor of the House of Representatives Thursday afternoon. First elected in 1994, Rep. Boulden said he plans to finish serving his fifth term, which concludes in November.

Concerns that his business will require more of his attention convinced Rep. Boulden not to run in the fall election. His father, who has run the family’s propane and oil company for 45 years, is retiring. Rep. Boulden’s brother, also a partner in the company’s operations, is exploring other career opportunities.

According to Rep. Boulden, "I am honored to have served my community and I am grateful for the confidence the residents of the 23rd District have placed in me for the past 10 years. It has been a true honor and privilege to serve in the House of Representatives, and I thank my constituents for the opportunity to represent their interests in Dover."
