All Precinct Committepersons are members of the Multnomah County Republican Party Central Committee. Elected Committeepersons have voting rights to name our local party leadership! All activities of the local party are directly controlled by the central committee in accordance with our bylaws.

A county central committee is the official political organization within the county. The By-Laws of our party clearly state the authority as follows.

"SECTION 1. The Central Committee
The Central Committee is the operating committee of the county organization from which all power and authority are derived. Membership is pursuant to Article II of the by-laws. Any decision made by this committee, if duly presented according to the terms of these by-laws and in accordance with the ORP bylaws, state and federal law, has precedence over any other decisions, policy or rule enacted by any other person, officer, organization or committee in the county organization."
