Merry Christmas
My Fellow Republicans,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Every Member of the Stone Creek Republican Club.
As we gather with family and friends this Christmas season, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who make this club what it is.
What a year 2025 has been. We have a President in Donald Trump who loves this country, fights for our values, and isn't afraid to say Merry Christmas. We are blessed with outstanding representation at every level of government. Senators Rick Scott and Ashley Moody are doing the work of the people in Washington. Congresswoman Kat Cammack continues to be an advocate for Florida's Third District and the conservative principles we hold dear. Here in the Sunshine State, our Republican members of the Florida Senate, the Florida House, and the Marion County Commission have stood firm for the values that make our communities strong and our state a beacon of freedom.
To the countless Republican men and women serving on committees, boards, and in appointed positions throughout our county and state, thank you. Your service often goes unnoticed, but it never goes unappreciated. You are the backbone of local governance, and we are better for your dedication.
This year our club hosted more engagements and events than I can count, and none of it would have been possible without you. Every meeting, every rally, every community gathering happened because you showed up. You volunteered your time. You brought your neighbors. You did the work that turns a club into a movement and a movement into results.
Now let me tell you about our Christmas party. I have been involved in Republican politics for a while now, and I thought I knew what to expect. I was wrong. The turnout, the fellowship, the spirit in that room was far beyond anything I could have imagined. Looking out at all of you, laughing and visiting and celebrating together, reminded me why we do this. It's not just about politics. It's about community. It's about shared values. It's about building something that matters. You made that evening truly special, and I will carry that memory with me into the new year.
To my board, I cannot thank you enough. You give your time, your energy, and your wisdom without hesitation. This club runs because you run it, and I am honored to serve alongside each of you.
To every volunteer who helped candidates, made phone calls, set up chairs, greeted guests, or simply asked a neighbor to come to a meeting, you are the heart and soul of what we do. Never underestimate the difference you make.
As we look ahead to 2026, I can tell you this much. We are starting off with a bang. There is so much more to come and so much more to do. The work of defending liberty and promoting conservative values never ends, and frankly I wouldn't have it any other way. With members like you, I know the Stone Creek Republican Club will continue to grow, to lead, and to make our voices heard where it matters most.
May this Christmas bring you peace, joy, and time well spent with those you love. May the New Year bring health, happiness, and continued blessings to you and your families.
From my family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. God bless you, God bless Florida, and God bless the United States of America.
With gratitude and warm regards,
Greg Ratliff
