Carroll County Republican Central Committee
A Republican Precinct Committeeman, an all-volunteer position, represents the GOP voters of his or her precinct at the Carroll County Republican Party level--the Republican Central Committee.
The Republican Precinct Committeeman is the face of the GOP within the precinct.
The Republican Precinct Committeeman’s job is all about helping to grow the GOP and working to deliver the maximum number of Republican votes from his or her precinct on Election Day. The principle means of doing the job is just an extension of what most people already do – talking to the neighbors.

We are looking forward to serving alongside you and seeing and hearing from you in 2021.

The time to take a stand is now.

"The Democrats did not listen to the dozens of advocacy groups who have demanded transparency, accurate data, and an open process that takes politicians out of the map-making," said State Rep. Avery Bourne, R-Morrisonville.
A joint news release by statehouse Democrats said they used the ACS data and “robust public input” to prevent the redistricting process “from being turned over to a committee of partisan, political appointees.”
If maps are not approved by the General Assembly, the constitution has a process to have a commission draw the lines with a deadline of Oct. 5. The timing of the maps will be important for the March 2022 primary.
"This should not be a partisan process,” Bourne said. “We have long advocated for an independent commission, but the Democrats have turned their back on that idea."
There will be four hearings on the proposed maps next week with opportunity for in-person and virtual testimony. Details can be found at ILGA.gov.
