Murrieta Mayor Pro Tem Jonathan Ingram was elected Chairman of the Republican Party of Riverside County at the GOP organizational meeting held Thursday at the Mission Inn in Riverside.

Ingram succeeds former Menifee Mayor and RPRC Chairman Scott Mann, whose term expired. Ingram is an elected member of the Riverside County Republican Central Committee and has served in leadership roles with the California Republican Assembly and the Murrieta-Temecula Republican Assembly. He served as vice chair of the RPRC last year.

"I can think of no one more equipped to lead the County GOP heading into the 2018 gubernatorial election cycle," Mann said about Ingram in a news release. "Jonathan has been a leader in the Republican Party regionally and throughout the state."

Ingram was elected to the Murrieta City Council in 2014 and is serving as Mayor Pro Tem on his first term.

"I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead for the Republican Party, both in Riverside County and the state of California, and meeting those head-on," Ingram said. "I am humbled by the trust my fellow committee members have placed in me."

State CRP Chairman Jim Brulte also praised Ingram.

"Scott Mann has done a great job working against the changing tide of Democratic voter registration in Riverside County and getting Republicans elected to local offices," Brulte said. "I know that Jonathan will build upon that at the grassroots level and work toward increasing Republican registration this next election cycle."
