About LACGOP

Precinct Chairs actively work with the people in their district and talk with Republicans and unaffiliated voters. Known in the political world as “canvassing,” it really is just chatting with your neighbors about the issues important to them and presenting the Republican viewpoint about those issues. 

 There’s that “canvassing” term again. Precinct Chairs work with their team to systematically communicate with the registered voters in their neighborhood to determine the issues important to them and actively promote Republican policies, ideas, and candidates.

A focus for the Las Animas County GOP is voter registration efforts. Precinct Chairs work with their Central Committee to organize voter registration events.

Our eye is constantly on training the next generation of party leaders and elected representatives. Precinct Chairs work with their Central Committee to identify new people who want to be involved in the important work of electing Republicans and keeping Las Animas County and all of Colorado free! 

The Precinct Chair is the most essential position in our county party.  They help us win elections and turn the current political tide and atmosphere.

Professionals in politics agree on at least one point:  elections can be won or lost in the voting precincts at the grassroots level.  The Precinct Chair represents the smallest unit of the organization.  The Precinct's Chair profoundly affects the overall strength, influence, and success of the County Party.

We also have regular training for Precinct Chairs, so you'll know how to be the most effective.  We also have area leaders here to help you every step of the way.
