...right now!

Today is the first day to begin registering new Republicans.

Lou Barletta's strong showing in Luzerne county shows our rebuilding efforts are bearing fruit. Lou had a solid victory in Luzerne County, and that is a very positive "take-away" from this General Election. (For the unofficial County General Election results, including absentee ballots, click here.)

Let's build on our gains and pick up right where we left off....STARTING TODAY!

Four years ago, I was elected a Committee Member. It was a very, very tight race. I won by just one vote. (The only vote, in fact...and a write-in to boot!)

Almost immediately, I wondered what I'd gotten myself into. I had no idea what a Committee Member actually does. I just wanted to get involved, and hopefully make a difference.

At our recent 6th District Committee Convention, there were a number of new faces...and the same question I had when I started: What does a Committee Person do?

To help you get off to a "fast start," here is some basic information:

DUTIES OF A REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE MEMBER

The Committee Member’s primary goal is to elect qualified Republicans to office and to promote the principles of the Republican Party. The Committee Member is active throughout the year, interacting with the voters and working to elect qualified Republicans to office. These responsibilities do not just occur on Election Day.The main duties of Committee Members are:

· Communicate with and service the voters.
· Circulate Candidate Nominating Petitions.
· Register Republican voters.
· Deliver Absentee Ballots to voters.
· Canvass with candidates.
· Distribute campaign material before an election.
· Make get-out-the-vote phone calls.
· Cover the poll on election day.
· Recruit and train volunteers.
· Identify, recruit, select, and support qualified Republican candidates.
· Help with Republican fund-raisers.
· Vote on endorsement of Republican candidates.
· Attend Republican meetings and events.

These duties may seem like a very big responsibility...but if you take it step-by-step and develop a well laid out plan in advance, you will find being a Committee Member is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable experiences that you will ever have.

The Pennsylvania GOP publishes a great pamphlet called Winning Begins With You! It's a great overview of your new role. Simply click the link below to read the pamphlet:
