Civic Empowerment in Trenton
One of the facts revealed during the Civic Health Survey recently conducted
in Trenton is that the vast majority of Party Committee positions (two per
party per district) are vacant in this city. The upcoming Primary is the
time when these seats can be filled. The following workshop will explain
what these Committee people do and how you can become one. ?Jim Carlucci

The local political parties represent a power center, which many citizens
know nothing about. Of those who are aware, most lack the knowledge about
how an ordinary citizen can access power through them. This is remarkable
when you consider that local party representatives, elected at the
neighborhood level, not only get first choice in the nomination of
candidates for town or city office, they also have power over candidate
selection far beyond the local level. In addition, they are often involved
in the selection of fellow citizens to serve in government positions, both
paid and unpaid.
The lack of citizen awareness of local political parties is even more
remarkable given that the office of neighborhood party representative is the
closest and most accessible position for entry into public life. The
position, know officially as ?party committee-member? is a post to which 4
citizens are elected during the primary election to represent on
neighborhood of 700 to 1000 voters
