Executive Committee

Luzerne County Republican Committee

The Luzerne County Republican Committee is run by an Executive Committee headed by the Chairman and includes voting and non-voting members.

Members of the Executive Committee include those appointed by the Chairman plus the six district chairpersons who are elected by committee people in their respective areas.

The Executive Committee meets on the third Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m. at GOP Headquarters, 41 S. Main St., Wilkes-Barre.

Districts meet regularly and, in most instances, the district chairman is supported by a vice chairman, secretary and treasurer. The district chairman is a voting member of the County Executive Committee.

Districts hold their own fundraisers and participate in county events.
