Precinct Strategy is a grassroots concept. It is a term coined by Dan Schultz, whose website is Precinct Strategy.

In Wisconsin, these vacant positions are referred to as committeeman and committeewoman. Typically, there is one committeeman/woman per town or village. In cities, a city committee is established, and the committeeman/woman oversees aldermanic districts within that city.

A committeeman/woman can build a team however they like. If their district has more than one ward, they can appoint a ward captain. They may also wish to appoint neighborhood block captains.

Among many possibilities, committeemen/women can:

• Help to identify voters
• Clean their voter rolls
• Organizing voter drives
• Increase voter participation in political parties
• Helping at the polls
• Bringing people to the polls
• Assisting with campaigns
• Identifying quality candidates for office

A natural part of these positions is becoming familiar with those who live in one's area.

Committeemen/women are elected every other year at the county caucus and appointed by the county party executive board between caucuses. This structure allows all committeemen/women in the county to meet in one place to represent their communities' needs. By having this structure, should a need arise, it is possible to trigger a call-to-action to answer immediately!

In times like these, a locally-oriented party organization, which was prevalent over 70 years ago, needs a comeback. The grassroots started the Republican Party, and to ensure their voices are heard, it is crucial to activate the Republican voter base!

Even if there are 300 Republican Party members in a county, there are often 100 times more Republican voters. Imagine what could be accomplished if the party effectively reached those voters.
