JoCo Republicans earn new Delegate

As of October 5, 2016, Josephine County now has 22,775 registered Republicans. This gives us another additional delegate to the state convention, who will be elected by the PCP’s at the Republican Central Committee Organization Meeting on November 17, 2016.

A county that has more then 15,000 registered Republicans gets one additional delegate, and any county with over 22,500 registered Republicans gets another additional delegate.

Many thanks to all the volunteers who have staffed the Republican Headquarters for so many hours over the past year, and helped to push us over the top!
