Party Structure

How We Are Structured

Our party is a true grassroots organization, starting with dedicated individuals at every level, from the national stage down to our local townships.

Precinct Committeemen

Precinct committeemen are the backbone of our organization. They engage with their neighbors, rallying support for our party and candidates. Importantly, every four years, these committeemen, along with vice-committeemen, vote for key county leadership positions: chairman, vice-chairman, secretary, and treasurer.

County Chairman

The county chairman, in collaboration with the executive committee, shapes the local direction of our party. They play a crucial role in recruiting and supporting candidates for county, city, and township offices. Additionally, the county chairman votes for the district chairman, vice-chairman, secretary, and treasurer.

District Chairman

Each Congressional district has a Republican committee focused on electing a Republican Congressman. The district chairman and vice-chairman are members of the state committee, the governing body of the state party. These committee members also vote for the national committeeman, committeewoman, and the state chairman.

State Chairman

The state chairman leads the Republican Party within the state, supporting candidates for statewide office. The state chairman can vote for the chairman of the Republican National Committee if the state voted Republican in the last presidential election, has a Republican majority in its congressional delegation, or has Republican governors. Currently, Kyle Hupfer serves as the Chairman of the Indiana State Republican Party.

National Committeemen

National committeemen, regardless of their state’s political control, have the authority to vote for the chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Republican National Committee Chairman

The RNC chairman, serving a two-year term, spearheads the national effort to elect a Republican President and members of Congress. Currently, Michael Whatley serves as the Chair of the RNC and Co-chair Lara Trump.
