The District of Columbia Republican Committee (DCRC) is the Republican Party organization of Washington, District of Columbia, the rough equivalent to the fifty state-level parties. The DCRC is made up of registered Republican voters living in the District of Columbia elected to serve as the committee.
The Committee faces steep difficulties in getting its candidates elected, as Democrats hugely outnumber Republicans in Washington. No Republican has ever been elected mayor since D.C. home rule began in 1975. As of 2010, the DC Republicans have no representation on the Washington city council.

“I find it profoundly symbolic that I am appearing before a committee of fifteen men who will report to a legislative body of one hundred men because of a decision handed down by a court comprised of nine men—on an issue that affects millions of women.... I have the feeling that if men could get pregnant, we wouldn’t be struggling for this legislation. If men could get pregnant, maternity benefits would be as sacrosanct as the G.I. Bill.”
