Fountain Valley Man To Lead Republicans

John W. Briscoe elected to lead CRA.

The California Republican Assembly (CRA) elected John W. Briscoe from Fountain Valley to be their President last Sunday at their convention in Burlingame, California.  The California Republican Assembly is a grassroots Republican activist organization known for being both fiscally and socially conservative. 

The CRA is known for providing volunteers for those candidates it endorses.  Republican candidates have historically sought the CRA seal of approval in contentious primaries.  The organization's influence has lessened with the declining registration of Republican voters.  The organization has long been thought of as the "Concience of the Republican Party".

Briscoe ran on a campaign of "Expect More" and bested incumbent President Celeste Greig on a fairly close vote.
