HAMPDEN TOWNSHIP REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE

*WHO WE ARE

The Hampden Township Republican Committee is comprised of the Caucus and Association. 

The Caucus is comprised of the elected Cumberland County Committee Men and Women from the 12 Hampden Township Precincts.  Committee Men and Women are elected in every even-numbered primary and serve for two years. The Caucus works to elect our Republican candidates and routinely makes primary endorsements at the county, township and school board levels. 

The Association is comprised of  interested Republican residents of Hampden Township. The Association hosts a number of events including Candidates Night as well as an annual Scholarship Dinner in support of a scholarship for a local student graduating high school.

Our Membership Application is available here.
