History
The
1856 Republican National Convention appointed the first RNC. It consisted of one member from each state and territory to serve for four years. Each national convention since then has followed the precedent of one representative per state or territory, regardless of population. From
1924 to
1952 there was a national committeeman and national committeewoman from each state and U.S. possession, and from
Washington, D.C. In 1952, committee membership was expanded to include the state party chairs of states that voted Republican in the preceding presidential election, have a Republican majority in their combined U.S. representatives and senators, or have Republican governors. By
1968, membership reached 145. Its counterparts include the
Democratic National Committee, the
Libertarian National Committee and the
Green National Committee. The only person to have chaired the RNC and later become US president is George H.W. Bush. A number of the chairs of the RNC have been state governors.
