2025 Events

Running for Public Office

⏳ Time is running out—if we don’t step up, the other side will! ⏳

No Experience? No Problem!

If you’ve ever:
✔️ Balanced a checkbook 💰
✔️ Negotiated bedtime with a toddler 😴
✔️ Survived a Thanksgiving political debate 🍗

…then you’re more than qualified!

Why Run?

🔥 Shape the future of your community
🔥 Defend conservative values at the local level
🔥 Finally have a legitimate excuse to ignore that group chat

Positions Available:

📌 School Board (protect our kids & stop the nonsense!)
📌 Township Supervisor (channel your inner boss!)
📌 Judge of Elections (keep the system honest!)

There are numerous County and Municipal positions that will be on the ballot this May! For a full list click <HERE>.

The Adams County Republican Committee is here to help – reach out to the ACRC if you're interested in running! The ACRC will host two "Running for Public Office" sessions: Thursday, January 30th at 6:30 & Thursday, February 13th at 6:30 - ACRC Headquarters, 100 Buford Ave., Gettysburg.

Petition Signing

Help Get Republican Candidates on the Ballot – Your Signature Matters!

Stop by and make a difference! Republican candidates need your signature to secure their spot on the Primary Ballot.

Come show your support and help us pave the way for victory in 2025!

🚨 ATTENTION REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES!

We'd be happy to host your nomination petition at our Headquarters during the petition cycle - there is NO CHARGE & WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR YOURS!

CHILI COOK OFF

Our Committee Members are bringing the heat, and we need YOU to judge—not just the chili, but the future of our County! 🌶️🔥

Meanwhile, the other side has their panties in a bunch over Trump’s policies and thinks they can swoop in and take over locally. Not happening! 💪

Join us on February 22 for a petition signing event to help get Republican School Board, Municipal, County, and Statewide candidates on the ballot for the 2025 midterms. Sign petitions, enjoy great company, and cast your vote for the best chili in town!

Let’s turn up the heat! 🔥
