About Us

We proudly work to organize and mobilize the more than 60,000 Republican voters in Washtenaw County, Michigan to win federal, state, and local races for Republicans. Even in "blue" cities like Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, we fearlessly participate in local fairs, festivals, and parades, knock on doors in precincts across the county, and host educational events at our Ann Arbor headquarters.

Message from the Chairman

The Republican Party of Washtenaw County was established to help promote the growth and success of the party at all levels of government, especially locally. Our goals are to recruit and promote candidates; recruit and train volunteers; raise and donate funds for party operations and campaigns; and organize events. To grow the party and to build and strengthen relationships with our voters, Republicans must unite in our efforts to promote conservative principles and pro-freedom candidates and policies. Working in community together is the only path to success

There are many ways to get involved through one or more of our committees, which are led by members of the WCGOP Executive Committee. Please visit the Get Involved page to learn more.

Each aspect of party operations requires hard work, and I am grateful to our volunteers, including our great Precinct Delegates, who together help us do this good work.

—John Dunlap
