Adam Gray traded in his suit and tie to don Merced College baseball warm-up gear on Friday morning and stepped into the batting cage to take some swings.
Gray, 47, a member of the United States House of Representatives from California’s 13th congressional district, which includes all of Merced County and parts of Madera County; and parts of Stanislaus, Fresno, and San Joaquin counties, is preparing to play in Congressional Baseball Game on June 11 at Nationals Park in Washington D.C.

Merced College leaders, educators and regional supporters are celebrating the start of construction for a highly anticipated AgTEC Innovation Center — a $22 million cutting-edge facility to revolutionize agricultural education and workforce development in the Central Valley.
Touted as the first of its kind at a community college in California, the center is expected to prepare students for careers in high-tech ag manufacturing, and serve as a hub for industry partnerships and economic development in the region.
A center that’s geared toward preparing Valley students for the agricultural technology jobs of tomorrow is now within sight of becoming a reality.

A new bill introduced by Congressman Adam Gray aims to protect U.S. farmers from economic harm caused by retaliatory tariffs. The “Stop Raising Prices on Food Act” would require the President to get congressional approval before placing tariffs on countries that are major buyers of U.S. agricultural products.
We need to talk about tariffs.
Let’s start with the obvious truth: Whether they are imposed by Democrats or Republicans, tariffs are taxes paid by us — not by foreign countries.
Walk around your house and pick up anything that says “Made in China.” Now, imagine the price of this item is double or triple what you paid for it because of an escalating 145% tariff. Inflation was already bad enough, but what happens when tariffs start making necessities like food even more unaffordable? That hurts America’s farmers and families.
WASHINGTON, DC – As blanket tariffs disrupt our economy, markets crash and recession risks increase, Congressman Adam Gray (D-Merced) introduced his first bill in the House of Representatives today to defend America’s farmers against the effects of potential retaliation from our global trading partners.
FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – A bipartisan effort to rein in President Donald Trump’s tariff authority is being considered in Washington, D.C., as markets around the nation have been volatile since last week.
Now, a valley lawmaker is weighing in on what Congress can do to bring tariff authority back to the legislative branch, just as the framers of the Constitution intended.
