About Corrin
Growing up in Menlo Park, Corrin Rankin started working at a young age in her father’s bail bonds business, which he founded in 1968. She would later take over the family business after working for almost a decade with some of Silicon Valley’s leading tech companies. This private-sector experience gave her firsthand knowledge of what it takes to navigate government regulations, build successful operations, and solve complex problems—a skill set she brings to her leadership in the California Republican Party.
When the bail bonds industry came under threat, Corrin took action. She became a leader in the movement to protect the bail industry and take on soft-on-crime policies, like AB 109, being pushed by left-wing politicians in Sacramento. In 2014, when a George Soros-backed organization tried to abolish bail in California, Corrin challenged the lawsuit while then-Attorney General Kamala Harris refused to. Her leadership in this fight not only protected a vital public safety mechanism but also demonstrated her ability to organize, advocate, and win against well-funded liberal attacks.
In 2016, Corrin served as an on-air surrogate for the Trump for President campaign and as a whip for Mr. Trump at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio. As the 2016 statewide coalition director for African Americans for Trump, Corrin was at the outset of a movement that would propel Donald Trump to the White House in 2016 and again in 2024.
Corrin was elected as California Republican Party Central Valley Vice Chair in 2021. Understanding that a winning formula needed to be developed, she focused on supercharging Republican efforts in the Central Valley—a region critical to flipping seats and defending key Republican-held districts. Under her leadership, the Central Valley elected new Republican Congressman John Duarte, and Republicans successfully defended Congressman David Valadao in a targeted district. She also played a key role in mobilizing Republican victories at the state and local levels, proving that her approach could be scaled beyond one region. This winning model—built on aggressive voter registration, targeted outreach, and strong coalition-building—is proof that Republican victories are possible across California when the right strategy is applied.
Elected as California Republican Party Vice Chair in 2023, Corrin has spent the last two years traveling throughout California, assisting with voter registration, fundraising, supporting Republican candidates, and growing the party. She also served as a national surrogate for President Trump’s 2024 campaign, ensuring that Republican values and conservative principles continue to gain ground in the state. Corrin has been a consistent advocate for leveraging the lessons of private-sector problem solving to build a stronger, more effective Republican Party operation.
Corrin knows that the future of the California Republican Party depends on results, not rhetoric. By applying her private-sector problem-solving approach, she is committed to replicating the Central Valley’s successful Republican model statewide. Her vision is clear: build an organization that doesn’t just react but proactively builds a pathway to victory for Republicans up and down the ballot.
In her spare time, Corrin enjoys spending time with her husband, Arron, their kids, and grandkids.
