Dan Mason will be the new National Committeeman
On Saturday, March 16th, the Oregon Republican Party Central Committee voted to select new representation to the RNC national party. The convention to do so was held in Coos Bay.
Longtime Committeeman Solomon Yue will be departing in his role, with Dan Mason of Washington County to be the new Committeeman.
"It's humbling to be elected by the ORP Central Committee to represent the 720,000 registered republicans in Oregon at the RNC and ORP executive team", said Mason. "Its important we have credible and competent candidates to compete with democrats up and down the ballot. They have proven over and over again, democrats in power don't have a monopoly on solutions, otherwise Oregonians would not be struggling in so many areas of life. I'm excited to build support for our team in a presidential year and beyond."
