Being a Delegate.
What is a delegate?
Delegates are grassroots Republicans who participate in the shaping of the Republican Party, its role, and its direction regarding public policy. They volunteer and are chosen by their districts to attend the party’s conventions in each even-numbered year.
What is the Republican State Convention?
It’s a place for people who vote in the Republican Primary election, or affiliate with the party to define our shared beliefs and to determine how we will promote them. We do this by creating a platform and by setting rules and electing people to run the party between conventions.
Who can attend the Republican State Convention?
Anyone who is a registered voter, who has affiliated with the Republican Party, either by voting in the Party Primary or by taking an oath of affiliation, and has been duly elected by the lower level conventions. You can only affiliate with one party during each election year.
COMMITTEES & CAUCUSES

Senatorial District (SD) Caucus Twice during the convention, delegates will meet together with all the other delegates from their same State Senate district to hold a Senatorial District Caucus. The first SD caucus will be called to order by that SD’s Temporary Caucus Chair. These Chairs were appointed by Chairman Rinaldi upon the recommendation of one or both of that district’s SREC members. After the meeting is called to order, the delegates will elect a Permanent Caucus Chair to conduct the rest of the caucus business.
