Stephanie T. Bolden (born August 16, 1946) is an American politician. She is a Democratic member of the Delaware House of Representatives, representing District 2. [1]
Bolden earned her B.S. from Delaware State University and her M.Ed from Boston College. She was formerly an educator in Christiana School District and in higher education. [2]
Bolden was a ten-year member of the Wilmington City Council, served a term as its president pro tempore, and is a member of the Delaware Black Caucus. [3]
She was elected to the Delaware House in 2010 after defeating incumbent Hazel Plant in the Democratic primary.
On January 9, 2018, Bolden filed a lawsuit against the city of Wilmington alleging that the August 7, 2017 fire that started at a neighboring property substantially damaged Bolden's property, which was her childhood home and is the present-day headquarters of the Delaware Black Caucus. The lawsuit also claims that the city of Wilmington failed to secure the property, respond to Bolden's prior complaints and repair and maintain the property to prevent the fire. The fire allegedly caused $75,000 worth of damage to Bolden's property. [5]
Weeks after the lawsuit was filed, Bolden became a part-time receptionist for the Wilmington City Council. She was criticized by Wilmington residents and Democratic Party members for taking the position; they claimed that doing so appeared to be a political favor and that the job should have gone to an unemployed resident of the city. In June 2018, Bolden submitted her resignation from the position, claiming that the job conflicted with her legislative schedule. [5] [6]
Bolden is currently assigned to the following committees: [15]
