Setting The Record Straight:  Our Delegate Election Process

Lately, there have been accusations that our organization has been excluding or blocking delegates. These claims are simply not true. We have followed our Constitution and Bylaws to the letter, ensuring a fair and transparent process for delegate selection.

What the Constitution Says

Section 4.03 of our Constitution mandates that elections for delegates and alternates to the District Caucus and State Convention take place at the Annual County Caucus- which is exactly what we have done.

Section 6.02(b) calls for a Delegate Nominating Committee to be appointed by the Chair and ratified by the Executive Committee. This committee is responsible for nominating delegates and alternates, and the list of nominees is included in the official Caucus notice for members to review.

Article VIII, Section 4 of the Republican Party State Constitution also explicitly states that delegates must be elected by members in good standing at the County Caucus.

No One Has Been Excluded - We Follow the Rules

Any member in good standing - even those not present at the caucus - was allowed to be nominated from the floor and voted on by the members.   

Every delegate and alternate has been elected through the process outlined in our governing documents. If someone was not elected, it is not because they were “blocked” - it is because they did not receive a majority of votes from the members present at the Caucus.

Our priority is fairness and integrity, and we are committed to following the Constitution that governs us. If there are concerns, we encourage constructive discussion based on facts - not misinformation.

We stand by the process and will continue working to ensure our organization operates transparently and in accordance with our rules.
