Jackson County Republican Committeemen and -women 2024-2026

  • One committeeman (CM) and one committeewoman (CW) for each district of Blue Township & ward of KC/Kaw Township. Other Townships have 4-6 positions at-large. These are elected positions on the primary ballot every 2 years. 


Precinct Strategy to Win Elections

  • We would like to have an an Auxiliary member for every committeeman and woman. They would come to the meetings (4th Monday of every month). This would get more people involved and they and would vote whenever a committeeman or woman had to be absent. 
  • We are looking for people who would volunteer to be Precinct Captains in each district or ward, Neighborhood Directors, and Block Leaders, to help get the vote out on election days, and to communicate information. We need each Block Leader to get to know the Republicans or right-leaning voters on their block and keep them informed so they can vote intelligently.
