One Wayne County political party has a new leadership team, and the leaders for two parties remain the same.
During their March 1 reorganizational caucus, Wayne County Republicans selected Beth Leisure as chair, Brad Dwenger as vice chair, Mark Broeker as secretary and Ashley Green as treasurer.
Previous GOP leaders included Gary Saunders, chair; Tara Pegg, vice chair; Barry Ritter, secretary; and Kimberly Walton, treasurer.
Also that weekend, Wayne County’s Democratic Party precinct committee members conducted a reorganization meeting to elect leadership.
Their team remains unchanged. Officers are Maggie Thomas, chair; Bill Engle, vice chair, Jeff Locke, secretary; and Len Clark, treasurer.
In addition, Tom Ferkinhoff is continuing as chair of Wayne County’s Libertarian Party.
