Most people are familiar with national political parties - like the Democratic and Republican parties. These parties try to influence elections by choosing which candidates they will endorse and helping those candidates with their campaigns. Political parties are made up of their members and are not a part of the government.
However, there are also local versions of these parties! In our region, “county party committees” are the local organizing bodies for the larger, national political parties. County committees shape how each party operates locally, determine who receives party endorsements, and how campaigns are supported.
This guide explains what county party committees are, how members are elected, and how you can run to become a member.
