A New Vision for an Urban Republican Party
By: Jill Homan
Op-Ed Published in the March 29, 2012 Daily Caller
The city is the new suburb.
According to Census Bureau data, more than 80 percent of Americans now live in the metropolitan areas. We’re seeing that trend close to home in the District of Columbia, where our population grew over 5% in the last decade and close to 3% in just the last 15 months, outpacing all states over the same period.
This influx of new residents to cities poses a unique challenge for the Republican Party. Presently, Republicans make up just 6% of the elected city council members in the country’s three largest cities. To remain a competitive political party well into the future, we must develop a successful model of a local urban Republican Party that can be exported nationwide. And there’s no better place to start than here in Washington, D.C.
The nation’s capital is a challenging place to be a Republican—there’s no doubt about it. The District’s Republican registration stands at 6.5% of registered voters; no Republicans are elected to the 13 city council positions. But recent years have provided a glimmer of hope. For instance, Republican Tim Day—currently a candidate in a competitive City Council race in the city’s 5th Ward—led the charge against corruption in city government, leading to one councilman’s resignation and subsequent federal charges.
Also, the local party has advocated loudly for school reform (in particular for continued funding and expansion of DC’s successful school voucher program), and been a strong opponent of the knee-jerk tax and spend solutions of the current City Council.
The public response has been positive, suggesting that our party’s core principles of small, efficient, and honest government can resonate with an urban electorate. But message alone can’t overturn decades of “deep blue” politics—we must pursue a three-part strategy to make inroads into urban neighborhoods.
First, the urban Republican Party must shore up its base. In Washington, DC, Republican turnout on a percentage basis is consistently lower than our Democratic counterparts. In competitive races as recent as 2011, DC Republicans could have won a council seat had turnout been higher. If the party is going to broaden its appeal, it must first have the grassroots base upon which to build.
Second, an urban Republican Party must reach out to new residents. The party’s message of reform and good governance is a natural fit for the young professionals relocating to cities for employment opportunities and a city lifestyle. A young professional organization I co-founded here in D.C.--called “35 Under 35”–has as its mission the recruitment and retention our future party leaders and candidates. Other cities should follow suit with similar-minded efforts.
Finally, an urban Republican Party must build bridges from wealthier communities to those neighborhoods with little investment and higher poverty, such as Wards 7 and 8 here in Washington, DC. The Republican Party message of inclusion, individual responsibility, and transparency in local government can win in all parts of a city, as “civil rights” Republicans like Ward 7’s Ron Moten are demonstrating today.
Ron and I recently co-hosted a Black History Celebration to honor the contributions of civil rights leaders to the Republican Party. In Ward 7, where some Republicans have previously written off altogether, we had over 70 attendees.
In my own candidacy to represent the local party to the Republican National Committee, I’ve knocked on more than 3,000 doors in the city to help build voters’ connection to the D.C. GOP. A single conversation or outreach event may not change minds, but consistent and repeated outreach backed up by a compelling message of a balanced, responsive government could mean a new day for Republicans in the nation’s capitol. To achieve that goal, we need a strong D.C. Republican Party led by serious people willing to put in the time, effort, and hard work.

Washington, DC, October 3, 2011 -- Jill Homan, Finance Chairman of the DC Republican Committee (DCRC), today announced her candidacy for the National Committeewoman position on the Republican National Committee representing the District of Columbia.
Homan, a Ward 6 activist, is seeking to succeed incumbent National Committeewoman Betsy Werronen, who is term limited.
“I am honored to run to replace Betsy and her strong leadership,” said Homan. “I look forward to sharing my own vision—urban Republicanism—for the party in the nation’s capital. I think that I am part of the new emerging generation of DC residents who can strengthen the future of the District and the DCGOP."
In addition to serving the DCRC as Finance Chairman, Homan has volunteered for the campaign of DC Council candidate Patrick Mara and chaired the Advisory Council, an organization dedicated to developing high donor support for the DC Republican Party. She is a member of the Executive Committees for the DCRC and the League of Republican Women of DC. In 1999 – 2001, Homan served as press secretary to then Congressman Bob Ehrlich of Maryland.
Homan is a co-founder and principal in Javelin 19 Investments, a commercial real estate investment firm targeting metropolitan Washington, DC assets. She serves on the board of directors for Commercial Real Estate Women DC (CREW DC). Homan holds master’s degrees in business administration and public policy from Duke University.
“Our efforts to build the Republican Party in DC are important to the success of our Party nationally,” said Homan. “We have a vibrant DC community who is ready and receptive to the urban Republican message of personal freedom, individual responsibility, greater transparency in local government, and fiscal responsibility to our local budget.”
Homan’s campaign today unveiled a web site, www.jillhoman.com, with direct mail, web-based voter contact and a volunteer effort to follow, in an effort to reach into every corner of the District. “To grow, we must take our Party's message into neighborhoods and to individuals,” said Homan. “I am prepared and committed to spread our message of a thriving DC Republican Party to our Party's national leadership and to every member of the national committee, representing every state in America.”
