This oath must be completed during a 5 day period in June. (67 to 71 days before the August primary election) Those elected become members of the Escambia County Republican Executive Committee (R.E.C) on December 1 of that year and serve a 4-year term. 2. By Appointment: Individuals not elected may be appointed to a vacancy by the Executive Committee during any meeting. They must attend at least three meetings, fill out the Loyalty Oath and make a contribution of $25 or more. The Republican Executive Committee must vote to approve their appointment.
