    • Run for a Political Party Position

    Political parties are broken up into "committees" (groups of party representatives) who make decisions at the national, state and local level. Committees select candidates for elected offices, adopt platforms, fill certain vacancies in elected offices, organize campaigns and when successful, provide a source of government appointees.
