Frequently Asked Questions

The office of precinct committeeman (“PC”) has been has been called “the most powerful office in the world” because the PC is the closest  structured political officeholder to the registered voter. A registered  voter has no vote in internal Party policy; a precinct committeeman  does. A PC elects district, county and state party officers, delegates  to the Presidential convention and RNC members. PCs sent to the Pres.  Convention vote on what policies the party platform will be advocated in  the next two years. Through a monthly meeting, PCs interact with their  elected Party officials to influence legislation.

Precinct Committeemen are people like you and me who represent  voters in the community and make up the foundation of all political parties. The goal of the PC is to help the Republican Party  succeed in three ways:

1. Influencing the policies and overall direction of the Republican Party.
2. Deciding who represents the Republican Party when running for public office.
3. Electing leaders of the Republican Party who truly represent the people.
