CCRP Leadership

Executive Board of Directors

Joel Mattila - Chair

I am a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, Constitutional conservative Republican who supports smaller government, lower taxes, traditional marriage, border security, the free market, and personal responsibility. My political beliefs are shaped primarily by my inner moral compass, which stems from my Christian faith and is reflected in the best document written by mankind: the United States Constitution. In short, this describes what I like to refer to myself as: a traditional, historical Republican.

I am a pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, Constitutional conservative Republican who supports smaller government, lower taxes, traditional marriage, border security, the free market, and personal responsibility. My political beliefs are shaped primarily by my inner moral compass, which stems from my Christian faith and is reflected in the best document written by mankind: the United States Constitution. In short, this describes what I like to refer to myself as: a traditional, historical Republican. I believe in personal liberty because liberty was granted by God, not by government. I believe it is murder to slaughter beautiful unborn babies because they were created by God in His image. It is wrong to redistribute wealth because it is wrong to forcibly steal from one segment of society and give it to another. I believe we all have the God-given right to protect our own life and the lives of our families which is enshrined in the Second Amendment. Together we will recruit quality, conservative candidates to run for every office, from the schoolhouse to the statehouse, work to restore dignity to our local party, and work to rebuild relationships with the business community. As a pragmatist, I believe that we can accomplish our common goals when we build broad coalitions to get things done. We can unite with folks who don’t believe exactly as we do to accomplish that which we agree upon. I believe that there is room in our party for Republicans of all stripes. While I will always pursue conservative solutions, I will accept help from anyone, conservative or moderate, to achieve conservative ends.

For the past two years I have worked for election integrity, in an effort prevent the catastrophe we now have in the aftermath of the presidential election. I have been a diehard Trump supporter from the beginning and was responsible for many people from the NW working for the President on his first campaign.

I currently serve as the Executive Director for the Center for the Arts of SW WA, and am still active on the political front as the Managing Partner of KMac & Associates, LLC. I have held a variety of positions in the Republican party over the years and have worked at all levels on multiple campaigns. In the past couple of years I have been involved in a couple of the local races, raising donations from the business community, and once again, serving as PCO of my precinct. I am a believer in building a strong team and working together across the aisle to get the job accomplished.

Kelli Fiskum - Secretary

Kelli Fiskum - Secretary

After the literal middle-of-the-night passing of ESSB-5395 for Comprehensive Sexual Education (CSE), I was compelled to enter the political fray in May of 2020 as a candidate for State Representative of the 49th Legislative District, receiving the official endorsement of LD49 PCOs, Golos Clark, Informed Choice WA, and the Family Freedom Coalition. While I have not yet been elected to serve you in Olympia, I am thankful for the opportunity to serve you as Executive Board Secretary. I believe in honest communication and the active promotion of conservative values through truthful, transparent, and respectful discussion both within the Republican party and without. I am encouraged to see so many of you reaching out, stepping up, linking arms, and pursuing conservative integrity – together! I am excited to continue partnering with you, and can’t wait to see the yield our grassroots efforts will produce in years to come!

A few fun facts about me: I love Jesus, my family, my community, and my country. I am wife to the world’s most interesting man, Mike (decorated US Submariner who enjoys scuba diving Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, jumping out of airplanes over Fiji, trekking in Nepal, making me laugh, and currently works with radioactive isotopes), and homeschooling soccer mom to two incredible kids (the first of whom we discovered I was pregnant with while on that trek in Nepal). I am possessed of passion and attention to detail, have my Master of Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma, professional letter of recommendation from Marian P. Opala (late Supreme Court Justice of the State of Oklahoma), and thoroughly enjoyed teaching English at Oppama High School while living abroad in Japan from 2002-2005. I love people and am thankful to have experienced the cultures of eleven countries and counting. I can truly say that we are beyond blessed to live in the country that we do, enjoying our God-given rights by virtue of veteran-spilled blood, a sacrifice for which I am daily thankful. May God bless America, and may America bless God!

Greg Cheney

Greg is a successful attorney in Clark County who works with the conservative grassroots and Republican campaigns to fight the leftist agenda.

Having a legal mind oversee the party’s finances is invaluable given past party issues such as Bob Ferguson’s fine imposed on the local party due to PDC violations mostly from 2014/2015 filings (costing the party tens of thousands of dollars). This position is a thankless and time-consuming position, and we are grateful for Greg’s offer to serve in this way.

My passion is keeping our community safe and building strong relationships with Republicans, both locally and nationally. I am a lifetime member of the NRA, believe in our Constitution, and support law makers who share my commitment to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In February 2017 I attended my first Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) conference in National Harbor, Maryland. I was able to attend CPAC again this past February of 2020, I believe we have a golden opportunity to turn our great state around, and our friends at The American Conservative Union couldn’t agree more! Washington State is on the radar of conservative groups near and far – and I am actively working to bring a CPAC event to our beautiful Clark County! I attend church at Crossroads, am a God-fearing Christian woman, and have worked as a flight attendant for Alaska Airlines for 15 years. Through my job I’ve been able to meet many wonderful people while acting on the Republican principles and values that are a driving force in my everyday life. I am honored that you’ve trusted me to serve you as your State Committeewoman these past two years, and am humbled to renew my commitment in continuing that service for my next two-year term. I look forward to keeping you informed, with total transparency, of the goings on of the state party!

Janna Meyer District Chairperson

Seeing parental rights under attack over the past two years is what initially ignited my passion to get involved politically. I saw that no amount of calling, emailing or protesting seem to make a difference with legislators who have an agenda that is opposed to freedom. The only solution is to vote them out! Now, I see very clearly that ALL of our natural rights that are at stake. We simply MUST get involved in our local government if we want to turn this ship around. It starts at the grassroots level. The voices and values of patriots will NOT be silenced. Please join us as we prepare to win our country back for future generations…one school board, one city council and one county at a time.
