DescriptionBOSTON - After Massachusetts Republicans registered a dismal showing in the November elections, Republican Party Chairman Robert Maginn informed state committee members Wednesday that he will not seek re-election to a second term.

“After much thought, prayer and conversations with those closest to me, as well as many of you, I have not heard the voice of the Lord calling me to seek re-election as Chairman of the Massachusetts Republican Party at this time,” Maginn wrote in the opening line of a letter to committee members.

Elizabeth Warren dealt the heaviest blow to Massachusetts Republicans last month, defeating U.S. Sen. Scott Brown. But in addition to seeing Mitt Romney fall to President Barack Obama, Republicans were again swept by Democrats in Congressional races and also lost ground in the state Legislature.

Noting it will be up to state committee members to identify a chairman to helm the party for the 2014 election cycle, Maginn said he had not sought the post before being elected and had instead been asked to run for chairman.
