Primary Goals vs. Ongoing Process

Winning elections is the primary goal of the Republican Party.  Electing good leaders is an on-going process.  If we do not win elections we never get a chance to prove that our Conservative philosophy of government works.  The Leon County Republican Party urges you to get involved in a variety of ways:

  • Register to Vote!  Make sure that all like-minded people within your circle of influence are also registered to vote and are either attending or involved in the election process.
  • Attend a meeting of the local Leon County Republican Executive Committee, held every 2ndThursday at the Hotel Duval.  (INSERT LINK)
  • Join a local Republican Club.  A great listing is here.
  • Volunteer for a campaign.
  • Offer to host or help with a fundraiser for the Local GOP.

Our Party is only as good as the volunteers and supporters who pitch in to help promote and advance the Republican Party.  Whether your interest is social or you simply wish to pitch in and work for the cause the Leon County Republican Party has an organization for you.

What is the Leon County Republican Executive Committee?

The Leon County Republican Executive Committee is the duly registered and chartered Republican Party Authority in Leon County provided for by state statute.  The Executive Committee is comprised of elected officials and duly appointed Precinct Leaders.  Thus, the Executive Committee, as the decision making body of the Republican Party in Leon County, has representation in each of Leon County’s 178 precincts.  There is one committeeman and one committeewoman from each precinct.  When precincts have a total voter population over 1000, that precinct is allowed an additional committeeman and committeewoman for each additional 1000 voters.  This Committee is the sole official voice of the Republican Party in Leon County, and is directly responsive to the Republican Party of Florida organization.

What are the duties of a Precinct Committeeman/woman?

Your job as a Republican precinct leader is an extremely important one. In many respects, you are the Republican Party within your neighborhood. You represent Republican voters in your precinct. You play a pivotal role in selecting and electing Republican candidates for a wide variety of responsible positions, ranging from United States Congress to city council to school board. You are the first and, in many ways, the most important link in the chain which makes up our representative form of government.

Here are the main responsibilities of the precinct leader:

  • Serve as the Republican Party’s year-round liaison in your precinct.
  • Organize your precinct by blocks, streets, and/or neighborhoods.
  • Recruit and train volunteers.
  • Distribute literature and information on Republicans candidates, election procedures, and election laws.
  • Organize precinct meetings, events, and rallies.
  • Identify and register Republicans to vote, and organize campaigns to switch other voters to the Republican Party.
  • Identify all favorable voters.
  • Help implement all phases and components of the Republican Party campaign plan.

And, most importantly,

  • Get all Republicans and other favorable voters to the polls on Election Day!

 How do I become an official Precinct Committeeman/woman?

  1. Download the forms here: http://rpof.org/wp-content/uploads/PCMPCW-PACKET-2012.pdf
  2. Ignore the first page.
  3. Fill out each form.
  4. Have the “Candidate Oath” notarized.
  5. Bring the forms to our next meeting.
  6. After we receive the forms we will verify that the precinct where you live has an opening, and verify that you are a registered Republican in your precinct.  The following meeting we will vote you on to the committee.

The Republican Party believes that the United States has been blessed with a unique set of individual rights and freedoms available to all.

You can be what you are, and become what you are capable of becoming

The Republican Party is inspired by the power and ingenuity of the individual to succeed through hard work, family support and self-discipline.

Helping those around you is worthwhile

The Republican Party believes in the value of voluntary giving and community support over taxation and forced redistribution.

Small government is a better government for the people

The Republican Party, like our nation’s founders, believes that government must be limited so that it never becomes powerful enough to infringe on the rights of individuals.

You know what to do with your money better than government

The Republican Party supports low taxes because individuals know best how to make their own economic and charitable choices.

Free markets keep people free

The Republican Party is supportive of logical business regulations that encourage entrepreneurs to start more businesses so more individuals can enjoy the satisfaction and fruits of self-made success.

Our Armed Forces defend and protect our democracy

The Republican Party is committed to preserving our national strength while working to extend peace, freedom and human rights throughout the world.

The Republican Party is guided by these principles as it develops solutions to the challenges facing America.
