About Us

We are Your Local Republican party

As a county political party, the San Benito County Republican Party is primarily charged with representing the overall Republican brand locally, assisting local Republican candidates that the Committee endorses, increasing the number of people voting for Party-endorsed candidates by Get Out The Vote (“GOTV”) efforts, and making sure every vote for Republican Party-endorsed candidates is counted by working on election integrity, such as poll-watching and absentee vote counting. Our Platform for San Benito Countyincludes:
  • Lowering costs that hit the poor and middle class the most, such as gasoline, food, and utilities.
  • Public safety with tough police and fire departments that reduce crime and keep us safe in San Benito County.
  • Schools to focus on reading, writing, and math and to allow for school choice wherever possible.
  • Responsible leadership in government that focuses on solving real problems such as overcrowded roads, rising crime, poorly performing schools, rising water, garbage, and other utility costs.

We are Here for You!

Republicans need to become more active in San Benito County, at the local level, and let the umbrella organizations of the California Republican Party and the Republican National Committee focus on state and federal politics. Members can be a part of all 3 organizations (as some of are), but when Members are at the table of the San Benito County Republican Party, they need to be focused on what is happening in our own back yard.
