Endorsement Coordinators
The RLCCA relies upon volunteer Endorsement Coordinators to help facilitate the process of reviewing and endorsing candidates for California's 53 seats in the House of Representatives and 120 seats in the state legislature. Endorsement Coordinators can also facilitate endorsements in county and local races.
The responsibilities of being an Endorsement Coordinator include:
- Attempting to contact, via email and phone/voicemail, all Republican candidates in races where the RLCCA is considering endorsing a Republican candidate. (Sample letter.)
- Offering said candidates the opportunity to be considered for endorsement.
- Assisting interested candidates with the endorsement process, specifically with the Liberty Compact and federal candidate questionnaire. (More info.)
- Answering any questions candidates may have.
- Ensuring that the RLCCA Board of Directors has received all information submitted by candidates.
The list of the current Endorsement Coordinators is below. Endorsement Coordinators may find it useful to cross reference the below list with the (private, password protected) list of candidates currently being considered.
If you would like to contact an Endorsement Coordinator or volunteer to become a coordinator, please contact us.
