“I’m very proud of our Committeemen and their organizations. Over 80% of our township organizations have enrolled and 11 of those have earned the highest possible grade. The rest of the enrolled townships have been working diligently to improve their scores and further increase their effectiveness in promoting the Republican Party in their townships,” said Cook County Republican Party Chairman Aaron Del Mar.
Enrolled organizations receive an initial stipend and are eligible for further funding through the program. The funding each organization receives is directly tied to their score on the Scorecard. The Party projects that over $50,000 will be provided to Cook County Republican organizations this election cycle through the Committeemen Support Program, the first of its kind.

Del Maar explained the process: “Our goal is to ensure each of our organizations receive an A grade. To accomplish this, our team is actively helping each of the Committeemen and their organizations achieve the Scorecard milestones. This includes helping them develop a digital presence by building their website and getting them active on social media, providing new committeemen resources and guidance they hadn’t received to date, and assisting organizations with putting together and promoting their events.”
The next scorecard will be completed on September 15th and released to the public on September 16th. It will include Republican Ward Organizations in Chicago.
