Alameda County Republican Party

Revised 10/2/2022  

With only 33% voting in Alameda County, the vote still went roughly 60/40 to Democrats in keeping with population demographics.   To overcome this, all Republicans and conservative Independents need to vote in November's election (ballots being mailed on October 10) and voting for whomever is the Republican nominee.
