What is the Sussex County Republican Committee (SCRC)?

The SCRC’s mission is to grow and enrich the Republican Party for the benefit of all. The SCRC is governed by an elected Executive Board of Directors (Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary). This group is charged with overseeing the mission of the SCRC through organization, education, and mobilization. The Board of Directors is regulated by the Executive Committee, which is comprised of the 10 elected RDC’s, plus some non-voting members (Parliamentarian and Committee Chairs). All the elected members of the Board of Directors, Executive Committee, and EDCs combined make up the Advisory Board. If you are a registered Republican with the DE Board of Elections, residing in Sussex County, DE, you are automatically a member of the Sussex County Republican Committee (Sussex GOP). The Sussex GOP Advisory Board meets the second Monday of each month at 6:30 pm at the Millsboro Fire-hall, 109 E. State St., Millsboro, DE 19966. There is no charge to attend and you will have the opportunity to meet and share your thoughts and concerns with our guest speakers, elected officials, officers of the party, and other like-minded citizens.

How is the Republican party organized in DE?

The Delaware GOP is governed by the Chair of the state committee, who is responsible for facilitating the policies set forth in the by-laws of the state Republican party. These by-laws are established through the state Executive Committee, under the state Chair’s direction. The state is broken down into 3 counties (New Castle, Kent, and Sussex). Due to the number of citizens residing in New Castle County, that county is further sub-divided into three regions (Western, Northern and Colonial). Each of these counties (regions) has a Chair who, in turn, facilitates the operation of the Republican party within the county (region) and reports back to the state through the state Executive Committee. The State Board of Elections has divided the state into 41 Representative Districts and 21 Senatorial Districts. Sussex County has 10 Representative Districts and 5 Senatorial Districts. Each representative district within the county has a Representative District Chair (RDC) who is charged with knowing the demographics of their district, recruiting Election District Committee persons, arranging voter registration events, knowing the election schedule, and lending guidance and support to current elected officials within the district or those endorsed candidates seeking office. Within each Representative District there are a certain number of Election Districts (polling locations). Each Election District is represented by two Election District Committee persons (EDC’s). It is the EDC’s responsibility to know the party organization and demographics of his/her Election Districts. The EDCs speak to the issues of concern to their constituents through canvassing or other forms of communication.
