Dudley Elected State Dem Chair
State Representative Ben Dudley of Portland was elected by the Democratic State Committee on Sunday, April 9th to serve as new Maine Democratic Party Chairman.
Dudley is currently serving his fourth and final term in the State Legislature, representing Munjoy Hill, Downtown Portland, and part of the West End. Democrat Anne Rand and Green Party school board member Ben Meiklejohn have announced their candidacies for that seat.
Dudley replaces Pat Colwell, who resigned last month amid questions about campaign contributions made to a candidate in a Rhode Island political campaign.
