CCA Chair

John Dennis, Your Chair of Chairs!

It’s been an honor to serve as Chairman of the County Chairmen’s Association (CCA) for the past two years. I promised to make the CCA work for all our chairs—especially smaller counties—and I’m proud of what we’ve achieved.

We’ve made a big impact, from hosting productive monthly meetings and bringing presidential candidates like Vivek Ramaswamy and Larry Elder for CCA Zooms, to passing a key CAGOP by-law amendment that strengthened our party. My proudest achievement? Launching the CCA Speaker’s Bureau, connecting 16 counties with dynamic speakers for Lincoln Day Dinners and events, generating $700,000 in revenue—mostly for smaller counties at no or reduced fees.

As a lifelong Republican, I’ve spent nearly two decades advocating, running campaigns against Nancy Pelosi, chairing San Francisco’s GOP for six years, and raising over $7 million to support our candidates and counties.

The CCA’s mission is simple: empower county chairs to succeed. I’m excited to build on this foundation and keep driving our shared success forward!

Regards,
John
