About the Yakima County Republican Party
The Yakima County Republican Party is the official county affiliate of the Washington State Republican Party (WAGOP). We organize Republican voters across Yakima County, recruit and train Precinct Committee Officers (PCOs), endorse candidates for federal, state, county, judicial, and local office, and host events including monthly central committee meetings, the annual Lincoln Day Dinner, and grassroots organizing trainings.
Decisions on endorsements and party direction are made by the central committee — Republican voters elected as PCOs from each precinct in Yakima County.

How the party is organized
The Yakima County Republican Central Committee operates under Washington State Republican Party bylaws and Washington state election law (RCW 29A.80). Republican voters in each Yakima County precinct elect a Precinct Committee Officer (PCO) every two years during the August primary. The PCOs make up the central committee, which in turn elects the executive board, votes on endorsements, and adopts the party platform.
