Since 1935, the California Republican Assembly (CRA) has been working to elect Republican candidates who stand resolutely for Republican principles. Over the years East Contra Costa County had other CRA units which came and went. The most current unit was reformed in January 2023 and Katherine Piccinini was voted as President.
As California’s oldest and most influential Republican volunteer organization, CRA’s endorsement is a coveted privilege for those candidates who meet our high standards — conservative, principled, electable, and the overwhelming choice of our membership. When CRA endorses a candidate, we are committing volunteers, resources, and our reputation.
Our membership is comprised of activists, business owners, and community leaders who are active in local chapters throughout California.
Because of our commitment to Republican principles, President Ronald Reagan called the California Republican Assembly, “the conscience of the Republican Party.”
