Message from the Chair!

CALL TO ACTION 10/21/2025!

We need to take a stand against certain members of the Redmond School Board: directors Amanda Page, Ashley Proctor, and Liz Goodrich. These board members are attempting to bring educational equity into the Redmond School System. Educational Equity is a leftist phrase for DEI, WOKE, and other topics that take into account the color of your skin, your ethnic heritage, and things like where you live and worship.

Conservative board members have called on the community to show up to the school board meeting on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, and speak against the equity policy update. Earlier this month, at a work session, Amanda proposed that the board adopt OSBA's latest version of the policy from 2021. Notice the date 2021, prior to the recent election of school board members. All candidates promised during their campaigns that they would not bring the political topics of DEI, WOKE, and other related topics. Instead, they have gone back on their word, relabeled their initial agenda, and want to turn our education system on its head. See for yourself; that school board session can be found on the recording from the 10/08/2025 board session. The Educational Equity discussion starts at timestamp 01:00:35. The link is below.

Citizens of Redmond, we have to show up and let these liberal, left-wing board members know that we are not going to let them drive our educational system backwards. Show up Wednesday night and let them know. WE ARE NOT GOING TO TOLERATE THEIR MARGINALIZING BEHAVIOR ANY LONGER.

What do Republicans Believe?

The last few years the Deschutes Republicans have experienced a historic record increase of Precinct Committee People and volunteers joining us! 

We are happy to work with our neighbors to help spread compassionate and common sense policies and support conservative leaders in our community. Increasingly, people understand that the Republican Party represents everyday families and working-class Americans.

Extremism has taken hold of the Democrat party in which many "center" individuals now find themselves aligning with Republican values. In fact, many have joined the Republican Party who converted from previously being Democrat or Non-Affiliated/Independent. The following tweet from Elon Musk portrays this dynamic...

And people who were previously "non-partisan" have joined the Deschutes Republicans because they realize that in order to affect positive change in our community and state, we must change the leadership. 

Much has changed in the past few years, and it's become clear that We The People need to get involved with shaping our communities, state, and country, especially for future generations. Please consider joining us.

Deschutes Republicans welcome the participation of anyone who shares our beliefs in limited government, individual and religious liberty, fiscal responsibility and common sense in public-policy. Please join us!
