What is a Precinct Leader?

Precinct Leaders are the backbone of the Republican State Central Committee of Anne Arundel County (RSCCAAC or AAGOP) grassroots efforts. A Precinct Leader is a local representative of the Republican Party in each voting precinct and they are responsible for organizing their precinct. They identify Republican voters, voters who lean Republican and those who may be persuaded to vote Republican. After the voter ID work is done, the Precinct Leader coordinates efforts to meet voters, educate and encourage Republican voters to go to the polls and vote during early voting or on Election Day.
