BRUNSWICK

Two more names have dropped from local legislative ballots — this time, for the Republicans.

The party will seek new nominees in the race for Brunswick’s House District 66 and 63 in a caucus Thursday after candidates John Bouchard and Matthew Mower withdrew from their respective races.

For the ballot in District 66, that leaves two of three candidates still in question.

Democrats will caucus Saturday to select a candidate to replace Rep. Alex Cornell du Houx, a two-term incumbent who will not seek re-election as part of a settlement agreement stemming from a troubled relationship with Belfast Rep. Erin Herbig.

“Thankfully, we don’t have the issues that the Democrats have had in the last couple of weeks,” Jonathan Crimmins, chairman of the Brunswick Republican Town Committee, said.

However, Crimmins said the party also doesn’t yet have a candidate to enter into the three-way District 66 race and the two-way District 63 race, against incumbent Rep. Charlie Priest.

“We will truly have a better sense of that at the meeting,” Crimmins said.

Two years ago, Crimmins took up the nomination for District 66, but that’s not in the cards for 2012, he said.

In District 66, Democrat Matthea Daughtry is the only person to announce she is seeking her party’s nomination.

Crimmins said that local Republicans will caucus Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Brunswick Business Center, 18 Pleasant St., to consider nominees for the two seats, both of which represents a portion of Brunswick.

All registered Republicans living within District 66 and 63 will be welcome to vote for a nominee during that meeting, Crimmins said.
