All
political party executive committees in Florida are created by state statutes
which provide for the election of one man and one woman from each voting
precinct in each county of the state. In precincts where any political
party has more than 1,000 voters, there are two men and two women for
each precinct. These elected party officials are called "Committeemen"
and "Committeewomen," and together they form the most fundamental
grass roots political units in Florida -- the county executive committees.
The Martin County Republican Executive Committee has members representing
precincts throughout our county. However, not all precinct positions are
filled. In the case of a vacant precinct, the Committee is empowered to
elect new members by majority vote. Interested persons are encouraged
to attend our meetings and contact our office for information on membership.
Each county executive committee selects a group of officers to meet the
day to day administrative needs of the committee. The local officers in
each county are the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, and Treasurer.
In Martin County, party officers are elected every two years at the December
meeting immediately following the November general election. The current
officers will serve until December, 2010.
Some of the goals and objectives of the Executive Committee are:
Election to office of qualified persons
Determination of public issues under the accepted democratic processes
of the nation
Foster loyalty to the Republican Party
Promote an informed electorate through political education
Increase Republican registration
Seek qualified candidates for local, county, state and federal offices
Promote the election of all Republican candidates in the General Elections
In general to uphold the principles of freedom, equality, and justice
on which the Republican Party and the government of this nation is founded,
as set forth in the Constitution of the United States and that of the
state of Florida.
