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 equal representation. 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. On November 14, 2006 President Bush nominated Senator Mel Martinez as General Chairman and Mike Duncan as RNC Chairman. Its counterparts include the Democratic National Committee , the Libertarian National Committee and the Green National Committee .
