Republicans Make Gains in the 2022 Election

Republican registration in Sacramento County is at 25%, yet we made great progress in changing the balance of power in several jurisdictions, electing 60 Republicans in 2022. Our endorsed candidates prevailed in races against union-backed Democrats electing two Assemblyman, a State Senator, Congressman, a Supervisor, City Council Members, School Board and Special District Members.

These races were won because of the hard work of quality candidates who attracted donors, volunteers, and voters seeking solutions to the many problems caused by failed Democrat policies. This election was an example of team spirit and cooperation between campaigns and the Republican Party, with winning results. Many thanks to the hundreds of volunteers who phoned, walked, represented candidates and SacCountyGOP at community events and fairs, texted, emailed, wrote op-eds, called in to radio stations, engaged with School Boards, observed Vote Centers and the closing of Drop Boxes, hosted receptions, and shared our Voter Guides in their neighborhoods. Thanks also to our headquarters team who answered hundreds of voter questions about candidates and ballot measures, made patriotic merchandise available to fund our operation, and processed ballots for voters wanting to be sure their vote was counted.

We are always stronger when we are united!


We also had losses, including our dear friend and Assembly Candidate Eric Rigard. Eric will always be remembered as a mentor, man of God, and someone who was generous with his time and resources to help anyone in need.

Eric’s wife, Jackie, will carry on his work as his representative on the Central Committee and as a Delegate for the CAGOP.
