- Curious who the Republican candidates to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom and other statewide offices are in 2026 — or wondering if it's even possible to win at the state level? The good news: it IS! And we're organizing an important event to meet these candidates, learn about the fight to flip key seats in 2026, and find out how YOU can help — join us and RSVP today!

Meet the Candidates for CA Governor in 2026!
Monday, April 14, 2025 in San Diego
6:00 PM - GOP Happy Hour and Networking
7:00 PM - Main Event

>> RSVP TODAY

Before the meeting, join us at 6:00 PM for a Happy Hour and Networking Event with fellow Republican activists in San Diego County. This is your chance to connect, strategize, and be part of the movement that will shape California’s future!

The main event will feature speaker panels with:

• Chad Bianco, Sheriff of Riverside County, Candidate for CA Governor
• Steve Hilton, Fox News Commentator & presumed Candidate for CA Governor
• Herb Morgan, Chief Financial Officer, Candidate for CA Controller
• And additional candidates as we confirm them!

>> RSVP TODAY

Voters in 2024 showed that California and San Diego county are shifting rapidly back to the RIGHT toward common-sense leadership. We have a real opportunity to continue that momentum in 2026 and end California's one-party rule by flipping key statewide seats — and, yes, even the Governor's office could be in reach!

But only if you get involved and RSVP ASAP!

Can't attend? You can still help us win and kiss Newsom's legacy goodbye by chipping in to our effort to flip key seats. Every dollar helps us organize, recruit strong Republican candidates, and mobilize voters to defeat the far-left and take back San Diego.

Let’s stand together, fight for common sense, and take back our county and state in 2026! I look forward to seeing you on April 14th!

Best,

Paula Whitsell
Chairwoman, Republican Party of San Diego County
