Our Mission & Values
The Umatilla County Republican Party is the standard-bearer for conservative leadership in Eastern Oregon, committed to serving our citizens with integrity and vision. We support all Republicans who serve at the local, county, state and national level and surface new Republican leaders for future generations.
CONSTITUTIONAL DEFENSE
Unwavering Liberty
Our mission is to safeguard the fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, ensuring that every citizen in our county lives free from government overreach. We believe in the rule of law and support law enforcement to protect our citizens and property.
COMMUNITY SOVEREIGNTY
Local Empowerment
We empower local families, farmers, ranchers and leaders to make the decisions that shape our county's future, keeping power where it belongs—in the hands of our community. When our citizen's responsibility to vote and serve on a jury is unwavering, it will keep our nation strong for future generations.
ECONOMIC FREEDOM
Fiscal Integrity
We advocate for responsible spending, sensible taxation, and a business climate that rewards the hard work of our county's agricultural and industrial sectors. Capitalism, strong ethics and morals, and a merit-based economy provide the opportunity for citizens to prosper and enjoy their freedoms and liberty.
PRESERVING OUR ROOTS
A Legacy of Liberty
Our long-term goal is to secure a prosperous, self-reliant future for Eastern Oregon, protecting our agricultural heritage for generations to come. We encourage and respect hard work and embrace the fruits of our labor. United States civics must be taught to our students to encourage and solidify the importance of carrying out our civic responsibilities. Patriotism and respect for our flag and Nation is encouraged.
