Delegates from the nine counties comprising the 11th Congressional District converged on Paulding County in April in order to continue the process of reorganizing the Republican Party of Georgia, a convention process that takes place every two years. Elections to leadership positions from the precinct level all the way to State GOP Chairman take place during the two year cycle.

The District Convention convenes to organize the District Committee (see our elected officers), pass resolutions, make rules changes, and hear candidates and elected officials inform us of their accomplishments and plans for the future.

In addition to the above activities, straw polls for Governor and Lt. Governor were held.  Delegates to the convention chose John Oxendine for Governor by a plurality and Eric Johnson for Lt. Governor by a wide margin over incumbent Casey Cagle.

Delegates to the District Convention are elected by their fellow citizens at the County Convention held the previous month.  For more information about becoming involved in the party you can contact your County Chairman.
