WHO WE ARE
The Elizabethtown Area Republican Committee (EARC) is the local grassroots organization representing Republican voters throughout the Elizabethtown Area. Our committee members work within their neighborhoods and precincts to strengthen the Republican Party, support conservative candidates, and help ensure voters stay informed and engaged.
We believe strong communities start with active citizens, and our committee members serve as the foundation of Republican leadership at the local level.
What is a Republican Committee Person?
A Republican Committee Person (sometimes called a precinct committeeperson or committee member) is a local party official elected by Republican voters within a specific voting precinct.
Committee members serve as the grassroots representatives of the Republican Party, helping organize voters, support Republican candidates, and keep their communities informed about elections and local issues.
They play an important role in connecting local voters with the Republican Party and strengthening conservative leadership at the community level.
How the Position is Structured
Each voting precinct elects two Republican committee members:
• One man
• One woman
Committee members are elected by Republican voters every two years during the primary election in even-numbered years.
If a vacancy occurs between elections, the committee may appoint someone to fill the position until the next election.
