With the candidates qualifying for the Republican Central Committee being final, and with the Secretary of State releasing the randomized alphabet lottery results, I went ahead and put together the list of candidates for Central Committee, based on that alphabet. This would be seemingly important, as popular opinion seems to be that ballot order is strongly correlative to electoral success when it comes to Central Committee. Of course, popular opinion isn’t always right, and there are definitely other factors that have a contribution (such as incumbency, name recognition, ballot title, etc.)
Nonetheless, since there are many folks running who would be interested, it seemed worth putting together.
Note: I did this using copy & paste, and an excel formula to compute the order. The whole process is entirely susceptible to human error, so if someone is missing, or the order is screwed up, I apologize in advance and note that any errors should be fairly contained. I’ve gone ahead and bolded the incumbents for the sake of reference.
Here is a PDF copy of the ballot.

Well, there goes my juicy pension. I’m the unlucky 13th (and last) in the star-laden 77th district.
I just can’t catch a break — I was SOOOO excited about having an outside chance at a coveted GOP Central Committee spot. My dreams are shattered. But at least my lifetime LOSING record will remain intact.
It’s Miller time.
Hey…I’m number 13 too, maybe it’ll be lucky?
Generous with the ‘t’s in my name! LOL
