Chairman Bruce Hottle welcomes you to the Somerset County Republican Committee website.

The Republican Committee in Somerset County, Pennsylvania demonstrates its commitment to the Republican Party through a variety of initiatives. The hard work of grassroots activists has yielded many victories for our Party.

Our committee strives to:

• Register Republican voters and encourage them to vote;

• Assist Republican voters by providing information, absentee ballot applications, a ride to the polls, and other needed services;

• Recruiting, nominating, and ELECTING well-qualified candidates for office;

• Assisting our candidates through the election campaign process;

• Retaining our Republican Elected Officials; and

• Protecting the interests of the Republican Party and candidates at the polls.

We adhere to the Principles of our Republican Party: Reducing the size of government, streamlining the bureaucracy, and returning power to the states. We are committed to resolving our differences with civility, trust, and mutual respect, and to affirm the common goals and beliefs that unite us.

The Republican Party is the Party of fresh ideas and new thinking. As Republicans, we believe in ensuring that Americans remain safe, terrorists are defeated, and democracy flourishes in the world. We believe in expanding opportunities for ownership and investment; making tax relief permanent and ensuring greater energy independence, as well as increasing the affordability and accessibility of health care; protecting the sanctity of marriage and the rights of the unborn; education reform; strengthening our communities and economy; and protecting our families in the ever-changing world.

Everything we do together matters: putting a bumper sticker on your car, a sign in your front yard or calling friends to come out and vote on election day.

We welcome you to our official website. You should find this site an informative source of information. Thank you for visiting our website.

We look forward to working with you on the campaign trail.
