The Republican Party reorganizes every other March, in odd numbered years. This was one of those years!
The new term of the Saluda County Republican Party began on April 8 with the County Convention. That is where delegates selected from each of Saluda’s 13 precincts came together to elect new officers, each with a two-year term.
At this year’s convention, three new officers were elected to lead the Saluda County Republican Party. They are:
Also elected at Convention were five delegates and five alternates to attend the State GOP Convention in May. Those are:

The new officers are looking forward to growing the Saluda County GOP in size, mission, and success during the next two years. The delegates will be casting Saluda’s five votes at the state convention in May, hoping to elect the most effective officers possible at the state level.
The level of participation in this years Republican reorganization process was very impressive. Thank you to all who took the time to help our party grow!
