WATERVILLE — The Waterville Democratic Committee elected Colby College student Lily Herrmann as chair of the party Monday night, an official said Tuesday.
Herrmann is entering her last semester at Colby and plans to graduate in December, said Waterville Democrats Secretary Matt Gorman in an email.
He said it is his understanding she plans to stay in Waterville after graduation.
