Calif. GOP Assembly Ousts Flora, Names Macedo New Leader

SACRAMENTO, Calif. —  Assemblywoman Alexandra Macedo (R-Tulare) has been voted in as the new leader of the Assembly Republicans.

“I am deeply honored by the trust my colleagues have placed in me, and I am proud to stand alongside a unified caucus dedicated to real, common-sense solutions,” said Leader Alexandra M. Macedo said in a news release.

“Our message is clear: California is becoming unaffordable for working families, and our caucus is united in the fight to bring down the cost of living, make our communities safer and hold state bureaucrats accountable.”

Rankin went on to say “She understands what it takes to win elections, and she knows that success requires candidates, caucus members, donors, party leaders and grassroots volunteers to work as one team. She has earned the trust of her colleagues, and I am confident she will be a strong voice for Republican members and the Californians they represent. We congratulate Republican Assembly Leader Macedo and look forward to working with her and the entire caucus to win elections this November and advance Republican proposals in the Legislature.”
