Contest for TN State Executive Committeeman District 25
primary - Partisan - State Executive Committee
About this office
The State Executive Committee is the elected governing body of a Tennessee political party (Democratic or Republican). It is a party-organization office, not a government office — its members set party rules and organization, and are chosen by voters in that party's primary.
Term length: 4 years.
This role calls for
- Intra-party governance: the State Executive Committee is the elected governing body of a Tennessee political party, not a public office that legislates or administers government.
- 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.
