- Working knowledge of party rules, conventions, ballot-access requirements, and how the party interacts with state election law.
- Coordination with the party chair and county-level party committees.
- This is a partisan party-organization role; voters in the party's primary choose the committee members. The qualities here describe party-organization fit, not government competency.
