What is the role of a County Committee Member?
There are four County Committee seats in each municipal election district: one male Democrat, one female Democrat, one male Republican, and one female Republican. Statewide, there are over 24,000 seats. Half of these are reserved for women.
A county committee person represents an average of 350 of their neighbors. They represent the interests of their neighbors at local Democrat or Republican meetings.
In Delanco, the Republican County Committee selects the candidates who will run for the Republican Party at the municipal level. They also have a say in selecting the Republican candidates for County and State offices. In a small town like Delanco, their greatest role is working to get our candidates elected – from helping to write literature, to delivering flyers door to door. They can be your source for voter information and voter registration forms, including requests for absentee ballots. Is it much work? Not really, we meet several times a year, with our most intense activity occurring in the fall as we work towards the November election.
We need 2 people now!
County Committee members are elected every two years in the state primary election. The most recent election was this past June. We, Republicans, have two open slots that we would like to fill before the next election cycle – a woman in the second district, which is the area bordered by Pennsylvania Ave., the Rancocas Creek, Burlington Ave. and Coopertown Road and a gentleman in the 5th district, which encompasses the section of town just past Boggs Ditch and extending to the Beverly Border.
This is your chance to be an active decision maker in your community. To be considered for County Committee, you must be 18, you must be a declared member the Republican Party and you must be registered to vote in your local election district. You can declare your party at any time throughout the year by completing a simple party declaration card.
If you would like to spice up your life by serving as a County Committee member for the vacancies listed above, please call or email Ann Moore. We would like to fill these vacancies in time for the fall campaign – so, please consider it and give Ann a call.
