The Fall River Republican City Committee doesn’t really exist of itself. Rather, it’s a product of Fall River’s Ward committees. The Ward Committees come together to establish a City Committee because many elections are citywide, and because it is useful to have an official serving and leading the Republican movement on a citywide basis rather than only having Ward Chairmen.
The mission of the Republican City Committee is to serve as a central organizing force for the Ward Committees and as the main supporter of Republicans in citywide elections.
The Republican City Committee is not a committee of politically interested individuals who get together from time to time to discuss the issues of the day. Rather, the Committee acts as a highly partisan group working to recruit and elect Republican candidates. It is the Republican Party for the City of Fall River.
The Fall River Republican City Committee exists as a central organization for the Ward Committees to assist in their endeavors to elect Republicans to public office. It’s as simple as that. In order to fulfill this mission, the City Committee focuses its efforts on five core responsibilities:
- Building and locating a vibrant local Party organization
- Recruiting candidates for municipal and legislative office
- Communicating the Republican message in the local media
- Growing the Republican base vote with aggressive voter registration programs
- Getting out the Republican vote on Election Day
In order to conduct those activities effectively, however, the City Committee actively:
- Defines long and short-term goals
- Constructs and adheres to written plans outlining the Committee’s goals
- Raises the necessary funds to carry out the Committee’s programs
