Participate

Become part of the tradition...

• Spend two days discussing the issues in the party platform and deciding the Republican party's presidential and vice presidential nominees.
• Listen to elected officials, candidates, and campaign representatives debate who should be the next President and Vice President of the United States.

Nebraska delegates anxiously await for votes to be tallied. 

How do you get involved?

1. Serve as a State Chair. Research the politics of your state and recruit delegates to attend the convention.
2. Become a state delegate. As part of a state delegation, you attend the convention to debate the platform and choose the party's presidential ticket. You also can help your state chair create the delegation's banner or mount a campaign to support a particular issue or candidate.  Want to learn more about what it takes to be a state delegate?  Click on this video link and find out!
3. Serve on a committee. Help complete various pre-convention tasks: conduct platform hearings, write convention rules, create publications and press materials, and design a website.
4. Join the convention staff. Work behind the scenes doing just about anything...from building the convention podium, hanging banners, distributing credentials, or filming convention speakers. Everyone's talent is needed and welcomed!
