county committees

Divisions between reformers and longtime county loyalists have persisted.

Beneath the surface, control of the county committee meeting had already been determined by how many county committee members had signed over their votes to faction leaders.

'It is entirely unacceptable to sign my name to a letter, and purport it to be from me, and send it to my county committee members asking for them to give a proxy [vote] to Frank Seddio.'

County committees set the rules for political parties, elect leadership and determine the local party's budget. They also choose which candidates to run in a special election. So how can you get involved?
