The 8th District Republican Committee represents voters in Shadyside and adjacent neighborhoods in Squirrel Hill, Oakland, Point Breeze, and Bloomfield. Roughly 27,000 voters live in the 8th City Council District. Within this area are 38 election districts, each of which has two elected or appointed Republican Committee Members, normally one man and one woman.
We generally meet the second week of the month at 7:00 pm at The Coffee Tree on Walnut Street. See details on our Club Calendar.
If you would like to know more about us, please contact one of our officers about attending our next monthly meeting.
A key Committee concern is to ensure that all potential Republican voters are registered. Committee Members and other volunteers are trained to be alert throughout the year to potential new voters in their neighborhoods. Young people reaching their 18th birthday and new residents are contacted, eligibility requirements explained and forms supplied. In addition, periodic registration drives are conducted.
Neighborhood Committee Members help voters obtain absentee ballots and provide directions to polling places. They also provide background information on candidates, referendum issues and state constitutional amendments.
On Primary or Election Day, Committee Members arrange rides to the polls for those in need of assistance and are generally available for advice in the vicinity of their neighborhood polling place.
