Steps to becoming a PC in Most States
Persistence is the key!
1. Verify your precinct by checking your Voter Registration Card or calling your county election office.
2. Determine if your precinct position is filled or open by obtaining a list of the current committee and leadership. There are several ways to do this:
- Search the Internet for a website published by your County’s Central Committee. See if it lists the CURRENT members by Precinct, Ward, or Township.
- Check your state’s Sec of State website for a tab called “publications”. Look for the CURRENT “Official State Manual” and find a section called “Officers of the Republican Party.” In Missouri the Manual is at:
https://www.sos.mo.gov/cmsimages/bluebook/2021-2022/7_Elections.pdf#page=116
(Scroll down to your county to find a list of current or recent members.) - Join, like, and watch your County Cmte's FaceBook page, and/or Republican Clubs.
- Search any of the above for an events calendar;
- CALMLY attend cmte events to meet people on the cmte and seek out the PC for your precinct. Say something like, "i have recently come to realize that I need to do more to get my country back on track.")
- Last resort: Ask your County Clerk’s office for a copy of the current members of your Republican County Cmte. (Be aware they may not be happy to share this list.)
3. Find out the legal requirements for holding a precinct position, i.e. a residency requirement. In Missouri, it is one year from time of registering as a voter in your precinct.
4. Begin volunteering immediately to help in any way at cmte functions. SERVING IS THE PATH TO LEADERSHIP!
5. Quietly determine if your County Cmte's leadership supports the America First Agenda (AFA) or the state’s RINO Establishment Cabal. Don't rant publicly to the Cmte members about how badly they have screwed up the country. From their perspective (however flawed), you have been AWOL while they have been trying to save the county.)
6. If your PC position is filled, offer to assist the current PC and the Cmte with Party work in your precinct. This will endear you to the leadership and put you in a position to learn if they support AFA or if they need to be challenged in the next election cycle. A local Precinct Strategy coach can help show you how to win when/if the time comes to do that.
7. If your PC position is open, seek out if/how vacancies can be filled between elections wo indicating you want to change county cmte leadership. There should be a provision designated in your County Cmte Bylaws but these will likely not be generally available. Active members should have a copy. Often, county vacancies can be filled by appointment of the Exec, Cmte or by a vote of the whole Cmte but you may need a "sponsor" to nominate you.
8. Check out your state’s GOP state website for helpful resources for County Cmtees. In Missouri, go to:
https://missouri.gop/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/County-Sample-Bylaws-June-2019.pdf to access sample county bylaws (your county may vary somewhat).
9. Study Robert's Rules of order to prevent the current County Chair from blocking your attempts to upgrade your cmte's honesty and effectiveness. https://www.unh.edu/fac-senate/summary-and-simplified-roberts-rules-order
10. Use the resources at www.PutnamsPatriots.com to become better informed about how to save our Republic by returning to Constitutional principles.
11. Some states elect PCs at a convention or a caucus. If your state does, you will need an experienced AFA precinct cmteperson to help you navigate that system. If you are from a state other than Missouri, look for more specific information and a coach in your state here: Find a PC coach.
12. Get busy with action, action, action. The clock is ticking!
