SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15th
HAYWOOD COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY
ANNUAL PRECINCT MEETING
The Annual Precinct meetings will be held at the HC Republican Party Headquarters, 297 N. Haywood Street, Waynesville. Given the limited parking space in the County Republican HQ parking lot, please be aware that plenty of parking spaces are available across the street in the strip mall’s parking lot.
At this meeting, you, as a registered Haywood County (HC) Republican voter, will elect your next Precinct Chair, Vice Chair, and Secretary. These three individuals will be your link to the county Republican Party. They will be your source of information regarding Republican Party initiatives, events, and activities and serve as Precinct team leaders to prepare for the upcoming 2026 Mid-Term elections.
The 2026 Mid-Term elections will be critical in maintaining the momentum needed to continue implementing President Trump’s “Make America Great Again” agenda and codify as many of his common-sense Executive Orders as possible.
Along with electing Precinct leadership, you can register to be a Delegate or Alternate to the annual HC Republican Party Convention to be held on March 1st – there will be a ten-dollar registration fee. As a delegate, you will:
Represent your precinct at the convention and vote on who will lead the county party for the next two years;
Vote on Resolutions submitted for consideration that impact the County Party’s conduct, effectiveness, and proficiency;
Hear State and Federal elected officials speak about the legislative actions being taken that will directly impact your life; and
Hear a presentation about the Article V – Convention of States movement to propose Amendments to the Constitution to permanently reign in our out-of-control government and forever change how Washington governs.
