As 2025 Draws to a close

“As 2025 draws to a close, the Merced County Republican Assembly extends heartfelt wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. This season reminds us of the enduring strength found in faith, family, and freedom — values that have guided our community through challenges and triumphs alike.

Looking back, we are grateful for the dedication of grassroots leaders, the energy of our youth, and the unity of neighbors who continue to defend the principles that make America strong. Looking forward, we embrace 2026 with renewed purpose: to amplify local voices, preserve our history, and build a future rooted in accountability, transparency, and liberty.

May your holidays be filled with joy, and may the coming year bring prosperity, courage, and continued commitment to the cause of freedom. Together, we will write the next chapter of Merced County’s Republican legacy.”

- Gene Johnson, President, MCRA  2023-2025
