The CRP endorsement process is triggered by our county parties, and the CRP is prohibited from endorsing for statewide office. Generally speaking, we encourage candidates to seek endorsements at the local and district level during the primary. Our work is focused on building the strongest state party volunteer infrastructure and voter turnout operation we can, to help all Republican candidates up and down the ballot in the general election. If the Board of Directors and the County Central Committees represented in a contested district race all agree, we will entertain an endorsement discussion in certain circumstances.
The CRP's mission is to provide support to our Republican candidates on the ballot in November, and we're dedicated to allowing the Party's grassroots base to determine which candidates are best equipped to run strong campaigns and win.
Below please find a list of candidates endorsed by the California Republican Party, as well as candidates deemed to be nominees (due to their status as the only qualified Republican on the ballot.) Often Republican county committees have endorsed non-partisan candidates, candidates for local elections, or additional candidates for office where the CRP has not; please contact your county party for more information.
