Flora Out, Macedo In: GOP Leadership Shake-Up | Sacramento News
Description
Heath Flora’s brief reign as leader of the California Assembly Republican Caucus has ended abruptly after just under a year, replaced by Alexandra Macedo amid mounting pressure from within the party. Flora’s controversial vote supporting local sales tax hikes, coupled with backlash from county GOP endorsements and two looming ethics probes — one over requested payments and another over questionable campaign spending at a bar — sealed his fate. Macedo, a first-term lawmaker elected less than two years ago, now leads the 20-member caucus, pledging to unite around pressing issues like affordability and safety. The leadership overhaul also reshapes key roles, bringing in several new first-term members alongside seasoned veterans.
