Republican City Committee Hosting State Committee Candidate Forum

The Boston Republican City Committee will host a candidates forum for the Republican State Committee the last day of this month.

The forum will be for districts fully or partially in Boston. Each candidate for State Committee will have several minutes to introduce himself or herself and answer questions, said a press release from the Boston Republican City Committee.

“This election is very exciting as we have three contested races and will have several new State Committee members representing Boston," said Boston Republican City Committee Chair Brad Williams, and West Roxbury resident. "Ever since U.S. Senator Scott Brown won the special election for U.S. Senate and took over 30% of the vote in Boston, I have seen renewed interest from grassroots activists across Boston who want to help me build a viable two-party political system in Boston.” 

Republican ward members from across Boston are expected to attend and this event is open to the public.

The candidate forum will be held at the Park Street School on Beacon Hill starting at 7 p.m. on Jan. 31, 2012. The Park Street School is located at 67 Brimmer St., Boston.

The Republican State Committee governs the Massachusetts Republican Party and consists of one man and one woman from each of the 40 state Senate districts. State Committee members serve a term of four years and will be elected during the Presidential Primary on March 6, 2012. State Committee members act as liaisons between the state party and local town or city committees. 

The current officers of the Boston Republican Committee are: Chair - Brad Williams (Ward 20), Vice Chair - Kaitlyn Greeley (Ward 3), Secretary - Erin Maloney (Ward 2) and Treasurer – Brad Marston (Ward 5). They were elected in a special election held on March 31, 2011.
