John Bliss for Merced City Council District 6: Public Safety, Accountability & Restoring Downtown
Eric Rollins sits down with John Bliss, candidate for Merced City Council District 6, at the Vin Crudvente event hosted by the Merced County Republican Assembly. As a 37-year high school AP Government and Constitution teacher, Bliss brings a strong conservative perspective to local politics.
He outlines his top priorities: public safety, accountability with compassion on homelessness (addressing drugs and mental health first), revitalizing the downtown core, and efficient use of tax dollars without raising taxes. Bliss also shares a fun constitutional insight on the Necessary and Proper Clause and why he remains hopeful after strong community support.
