Endorsements for June 7 Primary:
"Vote for Endorsed Republicans to get them on Top-Two November ballot, otherwise only Democrats will appear on November ballot. The 4/23 State Convention helped fulfill the original Primary Election role, winnowing our Republican candidates to one or at most two per office. Thus, the Two-Two Primary has become our de-facto General Election and we must pull behind only these endorsed or nominated Candidates to win an office." - Harry Briley, AD16 Member
- ACGOP = Endorsed by Alameda County Republican Central Committee [ACGOP follows CAGOP Endorsements for Statewide Races]
- CAGOP = Endorsed by California Republican Party at 4/23/2022 State Convention
During the May push of Republican campaigns, any donation of your time (phone banks or precinct walking) and money directly to them helps improve the government of Alameda County.
