What is a Precinct Committeeman?
A city, town, or county is divided into precincts, each consisting of a voting place. When a person casts their vote in person, they go to their local precinct to cast their vote.
Each precinct has 2 GOP precinct committee members. The precinct committee member represents the GOP in that precinct. The position of Precinct Committeeman is either elected or appointed. A precinct committeeman is the grassroots of the Republican Party. It is also a good place to start for people interested in running for political office.
