Pasadena Republican Club (PRC) is the oldest, continuously active Republican political club in America, founded on March 29, 1884, 140 years ago. Every two years for the last 140 years the Pasadena Republican Club has operated the Greater Pasadena Area Republican Headquarters in Pasadena, California with the help of volunteers. Greater Pasadena Area Republican Headquarters supports the towns in the west side of the San Gabriel Valley.[1][2] Pasadena Republican Club works closely with Republicans running for office of the California's 41st State Assembly district.[3][4]

The Pasadena Republican Club helps Republican candidates get elected to federal, state, and local office. Pasadena Republican Club is funded by membership donations and general donations.
