 The Republican Party of Santa Clara County conducts political activities to elect Republican candidates and incumbents to all levels of elective office within the county as well as jurisdictional areas that overlap county boundaries. Read our complete set of goals.
The party structure is organized around the County Committee which consists of 39 voting members - 23 Regular Members and 16 Ex-Officio members - who constitute the policy board of the party.
Regular members are persons elected to Committee membership every two years during the direct primary election from the five supervisorial districts in the county. The number of members elected per district is calculated by population as determined by the California Elections Code.
Their terms run from the beginning of the organizational meeting and expire at the beginning of the next organizational meeting.
