I guess I'll post this here since this is the only CA thread up right now, and it also pertains to the dying CAGOP.
Another republican flips with Chad Mayes standing under No Party Preference, defecting from the Assembly GOP. His districts straddles Riverside and San Bernadino counties. It's increasingly clear that you will find better luck as a faction inside the state democratic party than as a GOP politician on the outside.
Chad Mayes was the party's caucus leader in the state assembly. Hilarious.
