MCRA

The Merced County Republican Assembly (MCRA) plays a vital role in shaping the direction of Republican politics in Merced County and throughout California. Its influence extends from grassroots local leadership to the state level, where it helps guide the future of the conservative movement.

1. Local Leadership and Grassroots Strength

The MCRA is where the real work of Republican politics begins — at the grassroots.

• It serves as the local voice of conservative voters in Merced County.

• MCRA members recruit, train, and support candidates for school boards, city councils, and county offices.

• The organization keeps elected officials accountable to Republican principles while providing a strong community for conservatives to organize, network, and lead.

When the MCRA is strong, the local GOP is strong.

2. A Bridge to Statewide Influence

As part of the California Republican Assembly (CRA) — the oldest and largest Republican volunteer organization in the state — the MCRA connects Merced County directly to the heart of the conservative movement in California.

• MCRA members have voting power at CRA conventions, shaping statewide GOP endorsements and priorities.

• Through CRA, MCRA helps influence the California Republican Party platform, ensuring that traditional values remain front and center.

MCRA is Merced County’s voice within the broader conservative movement.

3. Partnership with the Republican Party of Merced County Central Committee (RPMC)

The MCRA and the RPMC share a common mission: to elect Republicans and advance conservative principles.

What makes this partnership uniquely powerful is that a majority of MCRA members also serve as officials on the Republican Party of Merced County Central Committee.

• This overlap ensures coordination, unity, and a shared vision for local Republican success.

• The MCRA builds the people power — volunteers, fundraising, and outreach.

• The RPMC manages the official party operations — compliance, endorsements, and campaign structure.

Together, they are the foundation of the Republican movement in Merced County.

In Summary
