A message from David J. Shafer, State Chairman
The holding of County Conventions is an indispensable component of the process for nominating a Republican candidate for President. The County Conventions elect the Delegates to the Congressional District Conventions and State Convention which in turn elect Delegates to the National Convention.
There is no existing legal mechanism to cancel or reschedule the County Conventions. At the same time, there is no requirement that potential delegates to the Congressional District Conventions or State Convention be present at the County Convention in order to be elected.
Accordingly, we suggest to all County Convention Delegates:
1. If you are coughing, sneezing or feeling ill, do not attend the County Convention.
2. If you or a household member has recently visited China or any of the other places covered by the President’s travel ban, do not attend the County Convention.
3. If your immune system is compromised or you are in an at risk demographic group, do not attend the County Convention.
4. If you wish to be considered as a Delegate to your Congressional District Convention or State Convention but cannot attend the County Convention, let your County Chairman know of your interest in advance.
5. If you do attend the County Convention, thoroughly wash your hands, carry hand sanitizing fluid and avoid handshaking and hugging.
We also suggest to our County Chairs:
1. That you share these suggestions with your Delegates and others who regularly attend your County Conventions.
2. That you minimize business unnecessary to the election of the Delegates to the Congressional District Conventions and State Convention.
Thank you again for your leadership in our Republican Party. As always, feel free to contact me directly at any time at david@gagop.org.
David J. Shafer
Chairman
Georgia Republican Party
