Being connected to your Republican party is very important if you want to be considered a bona fide Republican.
The "bona fide" status means a conservative shows consistent Republican voting and is active and/or a donor in the Republican community.
We hope our website gives you the information you need to get involved and to vote for Republican candidates.
Time to
Reorganize!
IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT
REORGANIZING THE PARTY!​
​
Every two years all county parties must "reorganize" for the following two year term. Reorganization basically means electing a new Chairperson and four other new officers. At the January meeting the executive committee voted to hold our reorganization to elect new officers on Thursday March 27th at 7:00 pm. The meeting will be held at our regular meeting location, 635 Hillcrest Street in Clinton (Clinton Church of God fellowship hall). As required by the State GOP a Contest and Credentials Committee has been appointed which will handle registration and other details of the meeting. Please attend. It would be great to have a BIG turnout!
​
Qualifications to participate:
Any Republican wishing to participate must meet these qualifications:
-
Must be properly registered to vote in Anderson County Tennessee
-
Must have voted as a Republican three out of the last four Republican primary elections. Those dates are August 2020, August 2022, March 2024, and August 2024
-
Only those who qualify to participate will be allowed to be present on the floor during the Reorganization meeting.
-
Any Republican who is too young to have voted in three of those last four elections must have approval of the State Republican party. The Contest and Credentials Committee will assist in acquiring that approval.
-
If a person's qualifications are determined to be insufficient then the Contest and Credentials Committee should have your pre-registration no later than March 20 so there is time to meet additional requirements on the committee and pre-registrant. Please register early.
To register you may use any of these methods:
