Augusta Republicans are gearing up for the June and November elections by putting in place ward leaders who will be on the ground organizing neighborhoods.

In Ward 1 will be Bonnie Tucker and Vicky Briskey.
In Ward 2 will be Kim Davis and May Ross Coffin.
In Ward 3 will be Larry Ringrose and Jarody, who goes by only one name.
In Ward 4 will be Julie O’Brien and Patrick Rood.

Davis, a former state representative who is challenging Senate Majority Leader Libby Mitchell, D-Vassalboro for her Senate seat, said Republicans want to be well-organized.

“If we want to make real and positive change in Maine, we need a new direction,” Davis said in a statement. “The only way you can do that is by winning elections. We will win Augusta if we win every ward.”
