The California Republican Party (CAGOP) is the California affiliate of the United States Republican Party. The party chairman is Jim Brulte, and is based in Burbank, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. The CRP also has a headquarters in Sacramento.
The party's stated goals are to enhance economic prosperity within the state, cut taxes, and eliminate government waste. The CRP is active throughout the entire state of California. As of 2016 Republicans represent approximately 28% of the state's registered voters, about three points less than in 2012, primarily as a result of more voters indicating no party preference.

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.
