Become a State Committee Member

Get Elected
 

Following the biennial election (even year elections) County and City Committees hold caucuses no later than December 15th for the purpose of electing State Committee members for two years. Any registered Republican who resides within the respective County or City is eligible to run to become a member of the State Committee. Caucus dates and locations will be posted at www.nhgop.org. 

Only delegates to the state convention are eligible to vote to elect State Committee members at the caucuses. Delegates, including elected officials, are not automatically state committee members. However, delegates may also run and be elected to the State Committee. The number of members elected is determined by the Organization committee of the state convention.

Members elected to the County and City Committees then become voting members of the Republican State Committee for a term of two years. These newly elected members then meet to vote for the officers of their local County or City committee.? 

Note: The County and City Committees may have as many members as they wish, but only the members elected in the above manner will be State Committee voting members.

Responsibilities
 

All voting members of the State Committee are expected to attend and vote at the State Party’s annual meetings and any special meetings that may be called by the State Committee.

In addition to attending and voting at the annual meetings, members of the state party are expected to attend meetings and participate in their respective County or City Committees of which they are also members. State Party members will also be called upon to help the state or local party with various activities which may include, but are not limited to: special election efforts; event planning; fundraising; literature drops; phone banking, etc.
