Reorganization 2010

Party offices: In early 2010, Alexandria Republicans will select a local party Chair and Committee members for the next two years. We'll also select delegates to the 8th Congressional District GOP convention in May, which elects the District Chairman. There are many positions available, and ARCC encourages all interested party members to participate.

Reorganization checklist

Mark your calendar: • Feb. 19 - Filing deadline     for District Chairman • Feb. 25 - Filing deadline     for City Chair, ARCC,     & Convention • Mar. 4 - Party canvass     (if required) • May 22 - District Convention

Official documents: • Reorganization call (online) • Online filing form • Print-and-mail filing form    (PDF file, ~230 kb)

Any registered voter in Alexandria, who is in accord with the principles of the Republican Party, may file for any or all of the following positions:

• Member of the City Committee (2010-12);
• Chair of the City Committee (2010-12);
• Delegate to the 8th District Convention (May 22);
• Chairman of the 8th District Committee (2010-12);

Candidates for City Chair, City Committee member and/or for 8th District Convention delegates must file with ARCC no later than Thu., Feb. 25. This year, you may file online (pay by credit card); or you may print and mail the filing form (pay by check or credit card). If the number who file does not exceed the number of available positions, all candidates will be elected automatically. Otherwise, a party canvass will be held on Thu., Mar. 4. The new committee will become effective upon election (after filings have been received and reviewed, and any canvass is held).

You may also use the ARCC filing form (online or mail-in version) to join one of our affiliate groups: the Alexandria Young Republicans or the Commonwealth Republican Women's Club.

The filing period for chairman of the 8th District Republican Committee is still open. Any candidate for District Chairman must submit a letter of intent to the 8th District Committee, along with the applicable filing fee by Fri., Feb. 19.
