Oregon Republican Party to consolidate convention
By PARIS ACHEN
Capital Bureau
The Oregon Republican
Convention this year will for
the irst time in at least 30
years meet in one location to
select the delegates respon-
sible for casting votes for a
GOP presidential nominee
this summer in Cleveland.
Oregon was the only state
during the 2012 presidential
election without a centralized
caucus to select delegates
to the national convention.
Instead, state party members
met in ive different places
— each in one of the state’s
congressional districts.
“We got our ingers
rapped by the RNC (Repub-
lican National Committee)
last time saying you can’t
have ive locations. You
have to do it in one,” said
GOP gubernatorial candi-
date Allen Alley, who served
as Oregon Republican Party
chairman in 2012. “They
said Texas can do it in one,
so you can do it in one.”
The RNC didn’t exactly
issue an edict to Oregon to
consolidate its convention.
But Oregon’s decentralized
system caused a series of
problems for state Repub-
lican Party leaders that year,
which propelled them to
make changes to the state
convention, effective this
year, said Solomon Yue Jr.,
Oregon national commit-
teeman and member of the
RNC’s rules committee.
The state party started
holding
ive
different
conventions because of the
way it picks delegates. Out
of a total of 28 delegates,
three are chosen from each
of Oregon’s ive congres-
sional districts. Another 10
are elected to ill at-large
positions, and three so-called
“automatic delegates” serve
by virtue of their position
as state chairman, national
committeeman and national
committeewoman.
The idea behind different
locations was that party
members
could
vote
simultaneously for their
congressional
delegates,
at-large delegates and local
party oficers. The problem
came when voting in the
congressional districts fell
out of sync. During the state
convention in June 2012,
some districts were lagging
behind others and ran out of
time to elect delegate alter-
nates before Alley adjourned
the convention, Yue said.
State party rules allowed
party leaders to appoint the
alternative positions, but that
drew some challenges at the
national level to the alternate
appointees, he said. Ulti-
mately, the RNC found that
the state party had followed
its own rules in selecting
alternates, but the hassle
and time demanded by the
challenges gave state party
leaders misgivings about
their decentralized system.
“I think the ORP learned
its lesson: We don’t want to
run out time in 2016,” Yue
said.
The
2016
Oregon
Republican convention is
scheduled for June 4 at the
Oregon State Fair & Exposi-
tion Center.
The centralized location
also allows nominees to
speak to the entire party,
“whereas before we would
have had to be in ive places
at one time,” said Oregon
Republican Chairman Bill
Currier. “Instead of a few
hundred people in each of
ive locations, there will be
1,200 to 1,500 people in one
location.”
Oregon’s 28 Republican
delegates are divided up
proportionally
among
candidates according to the
popular vote they receive
during the May 17 primary.
Unlike past elections, the
three top ORP oficials are
no longer super delegates
who are allowed to support
any candidate for the nomi-
nation.
