Ask The Answer Person about the office of Winneshiek County Republican Party Chair

(John asks: "What is the term-length for the Winneshiek County Republican Party Chair position?  When does the term expire?  What is the process and timeline for which this position is elected?"):

The Answer Person says: "Both the Winneshiek County Republican Party Chair and the Winneshiek County Democratic Party Chair positions are elected.

In the case of the Winneshiek County Republican Party, current party chair Thomas Hansen says an election is held every time there is a presidential caucus.  The election is limited to registered Republicans attending the caucus.

The position of local political party chair is time-intensive and not a lot of people are willing to put in the hours required."
