​

Saline County Republican Committee recognizes individual members for their contribution to the Republican with the annual Paul Breashears Award.

​

This award was established in 2000 in memory of Paul Breashears, who exemplified one of the many “unsung heroes” of the SCRC. A tireless Republican volunteer, he and his wife Tracy serviced the Arkansas Republican Party in a variety of grassroots efforts and had notable leadership roles in planning some of the most successful Lincoln Day Dinners in Saline County history. Paul served as a Deputy Prosecutor for Saline County until he unexpectedly passed away far too soon from leukemia in the spring of 2000.

​

Each year the award and the hammer are presented to honor a person who has worked behind the scenes for the Saline County Republican Committee with little or no public recognition. The hammer symbolizes building a strong Republican Party in Saline County.
