There’s been some “shaming” on the national news in regards to being a Precinct Committeeman (PC). I’d like to clear up what a PC is and what they do for the community. I feel the most constructive way you can change politics is to become a Precinct Committeeperson (PC) in your party. PCs are the grassroots of the party. They represent the party to the public and PC’s elect the party’s leaders. Below are some excerpts from various PC’s handbooks.
Community: PCs are representatives of their neighborhood in the Republican Party. We provide a voice for the concerns and opinions of our neighbors and establish local connections and trust. PCs are a community sharing ideas, values, and energy working together to bring the Republican Party’s vision to your neighbors and friends.
Commitment: Being a PC means we are committed to taking action towards creating a strong and vibrant party that supports and embraces our vision of good politics. PCs are committed to 2024 and beyond. Working together, we will register new voters, get out the vote, strengthen democracy, and elect Republicans who will move this country forward.
Change: PCs advocate from within the Party for change. We seek diversity of opinion and welcome progress. PCs believe the Republican Party is the best vehicle to improve and change politics while preserving our republic democracy.
