“California Republican Party”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The California Republican Party (CAGOP) is the California affiliate of the United States Republican Party. The party is based in Sacramento, and is led by Chairwoman Jessica Patterson.^[1]

As of 2018, Republicans represent approximately 24% of the state's registered voters^[2], placing the Republicans in third place in California behind the Democratic Party and no party preference voters.^[3] The party is a superminority in the California State Legislature, holding only 19 seats out of 80 in the California State Assembly, and 11 seats of 40 in the California State Senate. The California GOP also holds none of the 8 statewide executive branch offices, only 7 of the state's seats in the House of Representatives, and neither of California's seats in United States Senate.

Elected officials

The following is a list of Republican statewide, federal, and legislative officeholders:

Members of Congress

U.S. Senate

Both of California's U.S. Senate seats have held by Democrats since 1992. John F. Seymour was the last Republican to represent California in the U.S. Senate. Appointed in 1991 by Pete Wilson who resigned his Class I Senate seat because he was elected governor in 1990, Seymour lost the 1992 special election to determine who would serve the remainder of the term expiring in 1995. Pete Wilson was also the last Republican elected to represent California in the U.S. Senate in 1988, and the last Republican to represent California for a full term in the U.S. Senate from 1983 to 1989.

U.S. House of Representatives

Out of the 53 seats California is apportioned in the U.S. House of Representatives, 7 are held by Republicans:

Statewide offices

California has not elected any GOP candidates to statewide office since 2006, when Arnold Schwarzenegger was re-elected as governor and Steve Poizner was elected insurance commissioner. In 2010, term limits forced Schwarzenegger from office, and Poizner did not seek re-election as insurance commissioner, instead making an unsuccessful bid for the Republican nomination for governor.

Board of Equalization, State Senate & Assembly

State Senate

Republicans are in the minority, holding 11 of the 40 seats in the State Senate. Republicans have been the minority party in the Senate since 1970.

Governance

The California Republican Party is a "political party that has detailed statutory provisions applicable to its operation", which are in division 7, part 3 of the California Elections Code.^[10]^[11] The Republican State Central Committee (RSCC), the governing body of the California Republican Party, functions pursuant to its standing rules and bylaws.^[12]^[13]^[14] The RSCC works together with the Republican county central committees and district central committees,^[14] with county central committees appointing delegates to the RSCC.^[15] The regular officers of the RSCC are the chairman, state vice chairman, eight regional vice chairmen, secretary, and treasurer.^[16]

County central committees

There are semi-autonomous county central committees for each of California's 58 counties.^[10]^[14] At every direct primary election (presidential primary) or when district boundaries are redrawn,^[17] their members are either elected by supervisor district or Assembly district depending on the county.^[18]
