State committee votes to keep Maine GOP chairman Charlie Webster in place in wake of caucus mess

AUGUSTA, Maine — The state committee of the Maine Republican Party voted Saturday to keep Chairman Charlie Webster in place, although some felt he should have stepped down for his role in mishandling the party’s presidential caucuses last month.

Members of the media were denied access to the meeting itself, but many attendees spoke afterwards about what had happened. The synopsis differed depending on who spoke.

Party leaders, including Vice Chair Ruth Summers, said the meeting was a chance for Republicans to air concerns and share opinions about a number of different things, including the caucuses that put the party in the spotlight.
