We strive to create an informed electorate by providing information on Party actions, activities, events, and legislative and electoral news at the local state and federal level. We hope to connect voters with each other and their elected officials by providing information and useful links to your representatives at all levels of government and to the government agencies we pay for.</Description><OtherInformation>The goal of the Party is, of course, to elect Republicans and in so doing to promote Republican principles as set forth in the Declaration of Independence and codified by the US Constitution.

This site is intended to facilitate those things necessary for the party to be successful. Most important is motivating people to join in efforts to strengthen the Party.</OtherInformation><StrategicPlanCore><Organization><Name>Beaufort County South Carolina Republican Party</Name><Acronym>BCRP</Acronym><Identifier>_7e513f24-9a70-11e8-a3a8-4165a4e6e336</Identifier><Description/><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Beaufort County Voters</Name><Description>Each of us can have tremendous influence on those we elect to represent us.

If on the other hand we stay informed and don’t hesitate to call, email, or meet with them, they will pay attention especially if we act in concert with others.</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Beaufort County Elected Officials</Name><Description/></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Beaufort County Republican Party Officers</Name><Description/></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Person"><Name>Sherri Zedd</Name><Description>Chairman, Beaufort County Republican Party</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Person"><Name>Richard Geraghty</Name><Description>Vice Chair</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Person"><Name>Jim Riordan</Name><Description>SC State Executive Committeeman</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Person"><Name>Ted Gregg</Name><Description>Treasurer</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Person"><Name>Susan Zellman</Name><Description>Recording Secretary</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Person"><Name>Pat Stanton</Name><Description>North Regional Director</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Person"><Name>Jon Smith</Name><Description>Central Regional Director</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Person"><Name>Vacant</Name><Description>South Regional Director</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Person"><Name>Allen Freeman</Name><Description>Corresponding Secretary</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Beaufort County Republican Party Committees</Name><Description/></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Events Committee</Name><Description>Contact: Richard Geraghty</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Legislative Committee</Name><Description>Contact: Ann Ubelis</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Platform Committee</Name><Description>Contact: Jim Riordan</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>PR Committee</Name><Description>Contact: Barbara Nielsen, Chairman 843-290-8650, bsnielsenhh@gmail.com</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Beaufort County Republican Party Affiliates</Name><Description/></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Beaufort Area Republican Club (BARC)</Name><Description>http://beaufortgop.com/affiliates/barc/</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Hilton Head Island Republican Club (HHIRC)</Name><Description>http://beaufortgop.com/affiliates/HHIRC/</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Beaufort Republican Women’s Club (BRWC)</Name><Description>http://beaufortgop.com/affiliates/brwc/</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Beaufort Federation of Republican Men (BFRM)</Name><Description>http://beaufortgop.com/affiliates/bfrm/</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Sun City Republican Club (SCRC)</Name><Description>http://beaufortgop.com/affiliates/scrc/</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Republicans Women of Southern Beaufort County (RWSBC)</Name><Description>http://beaufortgop.com/republican-women-of-southern-beaufort-county/</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>First Monday Republican Lunch Group (FMRLG)</Name><Description>http://beaufortgop.com/affiliates/fmrlg/</Description></Stakeholder><Stakeholder StakeholderTypeType="Generic_Group"><Name>Bluffton Republican Club (BRC)</Name><Description>http://beaufortgop.com/affiliates/gbrc/</Description></Stakeholder></Organization><Vision><Description/><Identifier>_7e51405a-9a70-11e8-a3a8-4165a4e6e336</Identifier></Vision><Mission><Description>To elect Republicans</Description><Identifier>_7e51410e-9a70-11e8-a3a8-4165a4e6e336</Identifier></Mission><Value><Name>Republican Principles</Name><Description>Republican principles as set forth in the Declaration of Independence and codified by the US Constitution</Description></Value><Value><Name>Individual Liberty</Name><Description>We are the party of individual liberty and responsibility.
