the republican party was born in 1854 as a primary vehicle to oppose the expansion of slavery in the united states in 1856 republicans nominated john c frémont one of california s inaugural senators for the 1856 presidential election 4 but he lost the state by a wide margin to democrat and eventual winner james buchanan though he did win the state of new york later in 1860 abraham lincoln was elected to the presidency as the first republican president the republican party would emerge as primary opposition to the democratic party until the present day california republicans and democrats were competitive throughout the late 19th century in 1878 republican california senator aaron a sargent introduced the language that would become the 19th amendment to the constitution which would allow women the right to vote 4 republicans dominated state politics for most of the 20th century they controlled the state senate from 1891 to 1958 until the 1960s when the democrats once again became competitive with the rightward shift of the republican party exemplified by their nomination of barry goldwater in 1964 goldwater lost california in a landslide 5 republicans still saw ample success up until the 1990s george h w bush carried the state in 1988 after ronald reagan twice carried the state in 1984 and 1980 pete wilson was elected senator in 1982 and 1988 and john seymour was the last republican senator from california after being appointed to the seat in 1991 california s latino and asian populations grew significantly in the 1990s and the growing segment of voters were turned off by the republican party s hard line stance on immigration the party closely tied itself to proposition 187 democrats have won most elections at the state local and federal levels since the 2000s by comfortable margins for example despite failing to win the presidency hillary clinton won a higher percentage of votes than any candidate since franklin d roosevelt 5 still california elected arnold schwarzenegger twice for governor schwarzenegger and steve poizner who later became an independent are the last republicans to win statewide elections in california california has two
