The District of Columbia Republican Party (DCRP) is the Republican Party organization of Washington, District of Columbia, the rough equivalent to the fifty state-level parties. The DCRP is made up of registered Republican voters living in the District of Columbia elected to serve as the governing body of the Party.
The Party faces steep difficulties in getting its candidates elected, as Democrats hugely outnumber Republicans in Washington. No Republican has ever been elected mayor since D.C. home rule began in 1975. The DC Republicans have had no representation in the D.C. Council since Carol Schwartz left office in 2009.
As of March 31, 2016, there are 27,094 registered voters affiliated with the Republican Party of the District of Columbia. That is 6.29% of all registered voters.
The District of Columbia Republican Party (DCRP) is chaired by José Cunnningham. The DC Republican National Committeeman is Robert J. Kabel and the DC Republican National Committeewoman is Jill Homan. The Executive Director is Patrick Mara.
Members of the DCRP elect its chairman every two years. The Republican National Committeeman and Committeewoman are elected at the same time as the DC Republican Presidential primary every four years, which is open to all Republican voters. The chairman appoints executive committee members with the approval of the DCRP. Election to the DCRP requires nomination by an existing DCRP member and confirmation by the DCRP Membership Recruitment Committee.
