1st Vice Chairman

Debbie Ludden, Pima County

​

My name is Debbie Ludden, I’m an Arizona resident, 1st Vice Chairman LD19, a Precinct Committeeman in LD19 and precinct 275 in Pima County. I moved here this year from Jackson, Maine, closer to my parents who have lived in Tucson for over 27 years. 

 

Prior to leaving Maine in the Spring of 2023, I was nominated and elected as Selectman (Town Councilman) in Jackson where I lived. This was the 4th time I ran for that office and the second time I won it. During my 1st term on the Selectboard, I also served a 3-year term on the Planning  Board. I was the Marketing Director at the publishing company Thorndike Press during this time as well. I worked at Thorndike Press for 20 years (1992 to 2012) and in 2012 was part of a big company wide marketing layoff.

 

From 2013-2015 I worked in a local convenience store. In 2015 I was hired as Treasurer, Motor Vehicle Clerk and Election Clerk for the Town of Troy. In 2016 I became Administrative Assistant for the Town of Etna. There I was Town Clerk, Treasurer, Election Clerk, Motor Vehicle Agent, 911 Addressing Officer and Deputy Tax Collector. In both Towns I ran all State and Local elections and was responsible for reporting results to the Maine Secretary of State's office. In 2021 I officially retired but only for about 8 months. In August 2021, I worked as a Deputy for the Town of Troy and was hired as Deputy and Trainer for the Town of Thorndike, where I trained the new Town Clerk until I moved to AZ. 

 

I’m America First, raised with pride and patriotism and cannot stand by and watch our country go to hell. Arizona is a battleground state and we can’t lose this battle.
