Kouzounas re-elected as Maine GOP chairman

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Maine Republicans who suffered blistering losses in November have chosen who will lead their party.

The GOP re-elected Demi Kouzounas as chair and chose Waterville mayor Nick Isgro as vice-chair in a Saturday morning election. Secretary Barbara Harvey and Treasurer Ben Lombard were both re-elected.

The election of party officers in Augusta comes as Republicans statewide are trying to figure out a path forward following the loss of the governor's mansion and state Senate. Democrats also control the Maine House.

Former GOP Gov. Paul LePage urged Maine Republicans to maintain the same leadership at the Maine GOP.
