What is County Committee?
County Committee (CC) is the heartbeat of New Jersey politics. It’s the first line of action, the grassroots foundation where real change begins. Composed of everyday citizens, the County Committee wields significant power, playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of our state. These members are not just bystanders—they’re decision-makers. In most counties, the CC votes on “the line,” determining which candidates appear first on the ballot in primary elections—a spot that almost guarantees victory. They also fill vacant positions between elections, ensuring leadership continuity. Plus, CC members get exclusive access to meet and build relationships with elected officials and candidates, influencing the political landscape directly.
