Jessica Milan Patterson is the Chairwoman of the California Republican Party. She is the first woman, first Latina and first millennial to serve as chair and is known for her get-things-done, no-nonsense style.
In 2019, Patterson was elected to lead the California Republican Party. After an historic 2020 election cycle, Patterson was re-elected for a second term in 2021 by an overwhelming majority.
Her record includes picking up five House seats (four in 2020 and one in 2022) over back-to-back cycles that helped secure a Republican House majority.
During her tenure as CAGOP Chairwoman, Patterson has added over a half a million new Republicans to the voter rolls and raised nearly $80 million for the Party. She built a robust and in-depth voter contact program that consists of 76,000 volunteers, leading the party to make over 29 million voter contacts in the 2022 election cycle – a 90 percent increase from the 2020 cycle. To further facilitate the grassroots efforts needed to win campaigns, the CAGOP also developed the C.A.R.E.S. (California Republican Engagement System) program to catalog every contact and volunteer the party has.
Patterson has held positions with the California Republican Party, Republican National Committee, and statewide and national candidates for nearly two decades, including leadership positions for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and Senator John McCain.
