Guide to Becoming A Precinct Committeeman

The Maricopa County Republican Party, and your country, and your posterity, need you to become “The Most Powerful Officeholder in the World,” a Precinct Committeeman. Here’s how to do it in three easy steps.

Bottom line, you need to get to your local Legislative District meeting and inform the Chairman that you want to become a voting member of the Party – a Precinct Committeeman (“PC”).

Step one: you have to find out what Legislative District you reside in. If you have in your wallet the Voter Identification Card from the office of the Maricopa County Recorder you will find on it your precinct (“PRC”) code number followed by its name (for example, “PRC: 0918 Tempe 59”) followed by your city, your congressional district number (for example, “CON: 5”), followed by your Legislative District number (for example, “LEG: 17”). If you do not have your Voter Identification Card, you can get that information from the Recorder’s web site by clicking here: https://recorder.maricopa.gov/pollingplace/getdistrict.aspx . Just plug in your home address and the Recorder’s office will tell you what Legislative District you live in. Then come back here and continue.

Step two: Once you have the Legislative District information, you’ll need to find out when and where the next meeting takes place.

Step three: Now that you know what Legislative District you reside in, and when and where the next meeting takes place, get to the next meeting. Take along a copy of this Precinct Committeeman Application Form: Maricopa County PC Application form [PDF]. If you can’t get to the meeting, call your Legislative District Chairman and tell him you reside in the District, are a registered Republican, and want to be appointed as a PC. Tell the Chairman you will fax or e-mail a scan of the application to him or her and that you will also be faxing or e-mailing a copy to the Executive Director of the Maricopa County Republican Party, Tom Husband (fax to (623) 518-6340 or e-mail it to Mcrchairman@aol.com).

You may have to be very persistent in seeing your PC Appointment through to completion. District officers have differing political agendas. Your District officers may have a political agenda that does not conform to your politics. Experience shows District officers sometimes make it easier or more difficult to become a PC depending on how well your political philosophy conforms to their own. Unfortunately, this just seems to be the nature of some people. Be persistent in requesting your PC Appointment. The process for an Appointment to PC can legitimately take six weeks because the last stop is the County Elections Dept. which only meets monthly to approve new PC Appointments.

Neither County Officers nor District Officers have any say in your freedom to become an elected Precinct Committeeman. Every validly registered Republican is eligible to complete a Nominating Petition and run for Precinct Committeeman, with or without approval, help or encouragement from District and County officers. You will learn about that process at the monthly Legislative District meeting: YOUR Legislative District meeting.

You are on your way to becoming “The Most Powerful Political Officeholder in the World!”
