View Janet Silosky who decided to make a difference in Plainfield by
becoming a Conservative Committeeman http://www.plainfieldtv.com/Janet.html
In all counties other than Cook, Precinct Committeemen are elected to a two-year term in all even-year Primary Elections. It is an all-volunteer position. It's a party post (Republican or Democrat), as opposed to a public one.
A Precinct Committeeman represents a Party's voters of his or her Precinct on the County Central Committee. Precinct Committeemen also elect the Party’s County Chairman (in all counties outside of Cook).
By becoming a Precinct Committeeman you can take a leadership role in advancing the conservative principles of lower taxes, fiscal responsibility, individual freedom, strong national defense, and traditional family values in your own neighborhood.
A Precinct Committeeman's job is to deliver the maximum number of votes in his or her precinct on Election Day. Precinct Committeemen represent the core of any Party’s grassroots effort.
Being a Precinct Committeeman means being the most direct contact point for fellow voters of your chosen party (Republican or Democrat) in your neighborhood.
STEP ONE: MEET THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

Packets can also be picked up either at the Illinois State Board of Election's Springfield or Chicago office. Your County Clerks Office will also offer packets. Petition Packets are available approximately one month prior to the first day to circulate Petitions. You can also download the Petition Packet from the Illinois State Board of Election's website.
Circulate Nominating Petitions.
You may begin circulating your Nominating Petitions on August 4, 2009.
Meet the Signature Requirements.
Nominating Petitions must contain the valid signatures of a minimum of 10 primary voters of the party of your choice. Try to receive more than the minimum. Get petitions notarized and turn them in. That's it!
STEP THREE: CAMPAIGN
In most cases you will not have an opponent running against you. A campaign for Precinct Committeeman often won't require a great deal of campaigning. While Precinct Committeemen races are small, they offer an excellent way to get started in politics. Many top public officials will tell you they cut their teeth in politics as a Precinct Committeeman. Some even remain Precinct Committeemen as they seek other posts in public office. This is a good starting point for understanding the process and to pursue further positions if interested in doing so.
