Senate Republican Leader Peter Bragdon (R-Milford) has announced that two people with deep roots in the state Senate will fill two key staff positions.

Angela Spradling, currently the legislative aide, is being promoted to become the minority caucus director. Kristy Roney, a former aide to the senate finance committee, will become the minority policy director.

"Kristy and Angela bring the experience and expertise needed to get the job done," said Bragdon in a press release. "They will be tremendous assets to our Republican team."
