What is the state Committee?

The Republican State Committee is the 80 member body that makes up the Massachusetts Republican Party. They are directly responsible for the success and/or failure of Republicans across the state. With just 29 elected Republicans out of 200 legislative seats, it’s clear that the Republican State Committee is failing.

There are 40 State Senate districts across Massachusetts, and each district elects 1 male and 1 female to the State Committee every 4 years in the presidential primary. The next elections to State Committee occur on March 5th, 2024.

Members of the State Committee have a number of basic roles & responsibilities. Among them include the following:

  • Organize Republican Town Committees (RTCs).
  • Recruit candidates at every level. (Local, State, and Federal)
  • Attend State Committee meetings and vote on agenda items.
  • Attend RTC meetings and provide guidance on how to grow.
  • Fundraising for Town Committees and the MassGOP.

Today, the Republican State Committee couldn’t be more dysfunctional:

  • Less than half of all RTCs across the Commonwealth are organized.
  • Only 30% of all elections in Massachusetts are contested.
  • Many incumbent State Committee members have boycotted meetings to prevent official business from happening.
  • State Committee members are completely absent from local RTC meetings.
  • There is no training or recruiting for local candidates.
  • Fundraising for the MassGOP has fallen off a cliff.

After you vote in the presidential primary on March 5th 2024, vote for two new members to the Republican State Committee.
