Click image to view album (7 photos)
The Benton County Republican Central Committee held its Organizational Meeting & Dessert on Thursday, November 17th at The Clubhouse (former Camp Adair Officer's Club) in Adair Village. Valley Catering prepared incredible desserts! The chairman, Jerry Jackson, was unable to attend so the meeting was conducted by 1st Vice Chair, Paul Rentz. College Republicans at OSU were sponsored by PCP's and attended the meeting. Speakers were Bill Currier, Oregon Republican Party Chair, and Jeff Gudman, 2016 Republican candidate for Oregon Treasurer. Though Mr. Gudman lost his race, both Chair Currier and Mr. Gudman described how close the race was despite the fact that he started with no name recognition and ran against a candidate with ten times the funds. Following the speakers, credentialing took place and then the Precinct Committeemen and Committeewomen (PCP's) held elections for new officers for the 2016-2018 biennium. Elected by acclamation were Betsy Close, Chair; Kristie Hernandez, 1st Vice Chair; Jody Draper, 2nd Vice Chair; Jeff Jimerson, 3rd Vice Chair; Ken Kurth, Secretary; John Detweiler, Treasurer; Steve Winokur, Delegate, Jeff Limón, 1st Alternate Delegate; Chris Close, 2nd Alternate Delegate and Jeff Kubler, 3rd Alternate Delegate. Retiring officers and delegates from the 2014-2016 biennium were thanked for their service and good wishes were expressed to the new officers. The new chair, Betsy Close, spoke briefly with a positive note and thanked PCP's for their vote. Read More......

The Benton County Republican Party participated in the Philomath Frolic Grand Parade in a float designed to support our statewide and local Republican candidates running in the 2014 election.

Jacob Vandever, candidate for Oregon House, Dist. 16, and Jerry Jackson, candidate for Benton County Commissioner walked with the float passing out candy to youngsters and greeting voters. Sen. Betsy Close, candidate for Oregon Senate, also participated in the parade riding in a beautiful white Corvette with her fabulous campaign team afoot (we borrowed her photos from Facebook). Louanna Oliver pulled the float… and expertly, we might add. On board were Kristie Hernandez, daughters Ronnie and Alexia with friend Erick, John Detweiler, Stella Guenther and PJ Hunter with Zumi (the dog).

Bill Currier, the new ORP Vice Chair and Chris Barreto, the new ORP Secretary, both won contested races for their offices. Ken Taylor, the new ORP Treasurer won by acclamation.
