Thinking of Running for CD3 Executive Office?
Delegates and alternates elected to represent their BPOUs across the 3rd Congressional District will meet in our annual CD3 Convention on Saturday, April 29.
An overview of the convention can be found on the CD3 MN GOP website.
One of the primary reasons for calling the convention is to elect the CD3 Executive Officers. These officers are the Chair, Deputy Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and seven (7) Vice Chairs.
The current officers have committed to an ambitious plan to improve the election outcomes in our district. They have adopted a strategic plan and are each leading the execution of a key area of that plan, including:
• Party infrastructure building and growth
• Collaboration with community organizations
• Local candidate/campaign training & support
• Outreach
• Event planning and support
• Communications & messaging
• Fundraising
Going forward, the executive officers will be expected to reach out to the CD3 senate district leadership, to help recruit and engage local volunteers in pursuit of these objectives.
