  • The RNC's California Experiment
    The RNC’s California Experiment: State and National Party Collaboration in Reforms to Minority Outreach Nicholas Boushee San Diego City College RNC & CRP: Shared Dilemmas and Linked Fates Neither the Republican National Committee (RNC) nor the California Republican Party (CRP) can continue to rely primarily on white voters to win elections. Leadership at both levels of the party has acknowledged the power of demographic changes that favor the Democratic op- position. Shortly after the 2012 general election CRP chairman and former state Senator Jim Brulte spoke to the racial demographic changes, recognizing the implications for state and na- tional Republican candidates. Brulte said, “The issue is demographics. California is almost totally dominated by Democrats today because Republicans can’t figure out how to get votes from anybody that’s not white.
