National Delegate Nominees
Committee on Permanent Organization Meeting Report
The Committee on Permanent Organization convened to assess and evaluate applicants vying to serve as delegates or alternates to the Republican National Convention. Utilizing a comprehensive scoring process, each applicant’s aggregate score was determined based on their involvement in the North Dakota Republican Party, encompassing volunteerism, financial contributions, prior service as elected officials within the party and the state, as well as other indicators of campaign experience and party engagement.
After thorough consideration, the Committee has qualified all the applicants listed below to appear on the ballot at our upcoming State Convention. The committee recommends the first 26 individuals listed below to serve as delegates.
At the Republican State Convention, each delegate will have the opportunity to vote for up to 26 candidates to represent them as delegates to the National Convention. The 26 individuals receiving the highest number of votes will be appointed as delegates, while the remaining candidates will be designated as alternates.
