Pro-life movement needs precinct captains
By Virginia Cline
Maybe you didn’t know it, but there could be political vacancies right within your local community that need your pro-life leadership. Based in your neighborhood, the most local level of political office is that of precinct captain.
In the U.S., a precinct captain (also referred to as a central committee member or a precinct chairperson) acts as a liaison between a specific political party and the voters of a local precinct. Precinct captains are elected by their neighbors, and generally serve as volunteers, though in some cases they receive a small stipend from their respective political party.
A precinct captain serves his or her community by:
- Facilitating voter registration and absentee ballot access
- Leading “Get Out the Vote” outreach efforts
- Assisting with voters’ transportation to the polls
- Distributing party literature
- Promoting his or her respective political organization
As an informed voter, concerned with pro-life values, you can start by finding out who your precinct captain is, then educating him or her about pro-life issues on a regular basis. Search online to obtain a list of your county’s precinct captains by entering your political party, along with your county and state.
I found the list of my county’s precinct captains under the “Committee” tab on my party’s website. There are 143 precincts listed for my county, with 21 vacancies for precinct captain. In the next few weeks, I plan to look through those vacancies to see if I can match them to the precincts where my pro-life friends live. The next step is to encourage them to contact their local party representatives and express interest in becoming a precinct captain.
In your effort to get your friends involved as precinct captains this November, don’t miss out on the chance to serve your community by seeking to become one yourself.
The pro-life movement needs precinct captains. Your precinct’s leadership position may be vacant, or your current precinct captain may not be seeking reelection. Consider getting more involved, while encouraging your pro-life friends to join you in taking an active role in the electoral process.
