During this March 4 Primary, Republicans in 133 of Montgomery County’s 548 precincts Montgomery County could vote for a Republican living in their precinct to become a member of the Montgomery County Republican Party’s Central Committee. This evening this new elected Republican Central Committee will meet to reorganize.
The Republican reorganization meeting is scheduled at Sinclair College at 7:00 PM, and, I when I inquired about the meeting at the Republican Headquarters, I was told emphatically that the meeting is not open to the public. I was also told that the current Montgomery County Republican Chair, Gregory M. Gantt of Oakwood, is seeking reelection to the office of chairperson and has no opposition.
Montgomery County Republicans reorganize every two years and Montgomery County Democrats reorganize every four years. Democrats will elect a new Central Committee in the Democratic Primary in 2010 and will reorganize sometime shortly after that primary.
Montgomery County has 548 precincts, so, in theory, each party could have Central Committees consisting of 548 members. By elected only 133 members — less than 25% of the precincts in Montgomery County are represented on the Montgomery County Republican Party’s Central Committee. The Montgomery County Democratic Party shows similar numbers. In 2006, at the last Montgomery County Democratic Party Reorganization Meeting, only about 100 Central Committee members attended the meeting and voted to reelected Dennis Lieberman as Party Chair.
Both parties appoint additional members to the Central Committee to represent designated precincts regardless that the precinct may not be where the member lives.
Here is where the Montgomery County Republican Party Central Committee members come from, shown as a fraction of the total members possible from each region:
