Thanks.
As I mentioned, I've been working to learn more about who is doing what in AZ.
I'd love to enter in some correspondence with folks over state policy, but have not found anyone to discuss that with.
I also found that there is an LD26 Repbulicans Website. I contacted them, but have not heard back yet. I am struggling with the vote differences between 26 and 25.
See if you can find a phone number for the District Chairman. You may get fruit if you find Kelli Ward's contact information, because she can hook you up with that person. That person can sign-off your request to get appointed Precinct Committeeman.
I would think we could do better.
There is a section in the Goldwater Institute where you can volunteer. My options are limited, but I want to be as involved as I can be for this next cycle.
I am very much interested to hear more about the "the bench" of upcoming republicans. You indicated that McCain thwarted the development of conservatives, but he is gone and hopefully, his wife will be too.
The Goldwater Institute is probably your best bet for finding out how to contribute your efforts. They detested McStain about as much as I do.

While I was scrounging around the AZGOP.com site, I found this tidbit.
Founding Of The Republican Party
On July 6, 1854, just after the anniversary of the nation, an anti-slavery state convention was held in Jackson, Michigan. The hot day forced the large crowd outside to a nearby oak grove. At this “Under the Oaks Convention†the first statewide candidates were selected for what would become the Republican Party.
United by desire to abolish slavery, it was in Jackson that the Platform of the Under the Oaks Convention read: “…we will cooperate and be known as REPUBLICANS…†Prior to July, smaller groups had gathered in intimate settings like the schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin. However, the meeting in Jackson would be the first ever mass gathering of the Republican Party.
It seems I'm always brushing up against history. I used to live in Jackson, MI, a two-minute walk from the spot where the "Under the Oaks Convention" was held. Still big oaks there.
Here is the email addy for the District Chair of LD26 (as of today. The Officers Election is the first PC Meeting of 2021, in the first week or two of January):
