  • MCRP Condemns Anti-semitism

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Portland, OR — The Multnomah County Republican Party in the strongest possible terms condemn any form of anti-semitism. Period.

    Since October 7, 2023 there has been a significant increase of hatred and attacks on persons of Jewish ethnicity. Lest we forget, in 2025 the American Jewish community witnessed an arson at the Pennsylvania Governor’s residence and the governor, his wife and four children came very close to losing their lives. Then there were the murders of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington D.C. Also, Karen Diamond died in a fire bombing in Boulder, Colorado, while in a march in support of the 1200 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.

    No one in America should have to change their behavior because of what they believe. Unfortunately, that is how most Jews are living their lives in our country.

    We are all Americans from a multiplicity of different backgrounds, and religious beliefs (or no religious beliefs at all). We all share one thing in common … to live peacefully with our neighbors, irrespective of who they are.

  • Vote Republican for the Economy this May Primary

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Portland, OR — The Multnomah County Republican Party (MCRP) supports candidates and policies which extend economic benefits to businesses and working individuals. In other words, we believe you should have more of your earnings in your hands or in your family’s accounts. We believe Oregon residents know better where they ought spend their own money. We demonstrated this belief with our support of the “No Gas Tax” referendum, which permits us to vote “No” on Measure 120 and stop $4.3 billion in additional taxes and fees.

    The MCRP wishes to extend this economic support for the long-term. Our Platform supports the rural farmer, the factory, and the urban retailer. And we have a plan to see that all happen. If you’d like to learn more, visit the MCRP online at https://multco.gop/lk/economy.

  • MCRP Adopts County Platform

    For Immediate Release:

    Fairview, Oregon — The Multnomah County Republican Party (MCRP) has adopted their County Platform for 2026. The Party elected to assign the County’s Platform Review Committee (chaired by Vice-Chairman Jim Kight) the duty of reviewing the State Platform and recommending emendations for the County to adopt. The result was a document largely based upon the State’s recent Platform but augmented with key concerns from an earlier State Platform adopted in 2023. With some discussion and light amendment, the MCRP Executive Committee adopted the proposed County Platform in time for May’s Primary Election.
