The Republican Party of Arkansas recently emailed the official call to the State Committee meeting happening on Saturday, May 18, 2024. The call to meeting, which was sent out 107 days before the meeting, provides details on the formal call, minutes from the last state committee meeting, and proposed rules changes.
One of the proposed rules changes would prohibit Republican county committees from passing “do not recommend” resolutions in primary elections on the state level.
Jennifer Lancaster, 2nd District Congressional Chairman, shares her thoughts and concerns over the call and proposed rules changes as well as the recent 2024 RPA Standing Committee Appointments.
