Revised Candidate Vetting Process
Republican candidates are invited to present themselves to the Chelan County Republican Party to undergo a new vetting process which may also include receiving the Party “seal of approval” or “endorsement”.
According to rules passed at its May 6, 2010 meeting, the Chelan County Republican Party now has a formal procedure with which to first determine if candidates running for partisan offices are “Republican” and then issue a “seal of approval” prior to the Primary Elections.
In addition, following the Primary Elections, the Party may also choose to endorse candidates.
“Our goal is to provide transparency in this often murky process of political candidate endorsement” says Fredi Simpson, Chelan County GOP, Chairman. “ We understand that many voters feel a mistrust of the political process, and we in the Chelan County Republican Party are responding to those concerns”.
Candidates and others wishing to learn more about the vetting/endorsement process are encouraged to call Fredi Simpson at 509-664-2420.
