Yep – that is the Chairwoman and her mentor.
Leave it to Stephen Frank, the man has impeccable sources.
Stephen Frank, California Political News and Views, 6/30/21
VERY BIG STORY!!!!
It has now been confirmed. The California Republican Party is going to hold a SPECIAL CONVENTION in August—no date or location has been determined—staff is working on it. The purpose is to endorse a candidate for Governor in the Recall—after the Executive Committee, NOT the delegates change the bylaws on July 24.
Just like the calling of the Executive Committee meeting on July 24, only SELECT members of the Board of Directors have been informed—and told to keep it secret.
The suggestion of an Executive Committee meeting and the calling of a Special Convention was NEVER discussed by the Board of Directors. Never. Why would they conceal their motives and plans from the 22 elected leaders of the Party? I’d suggest that the recent successes of Conservatives electing more board members and the emergence of others asking uncomfortable questions has caused the insiders to go underground with their deceit.
The big question is will this be via ZOOM or in person? Will people want to spend big bucks to travel to a convention in August and then go to the September convention, 9/24-26 in San Diego (btw—the Chair is keeping the location of that convention a secret till the last minute she can legally be forced to announce it.
Like the February convention with an un-auditable technology system, that disallowed many who paid their registration to vote, that forced the County Chairs to do a roll call vote instead of a technology based vote, questions will be raised as to the “accuracy” of the vote count.
This reminds me of how the Democrats in the past few days, using the budget, changed the rules for the Recall. It reminds me of how union leadership operates without telling the members what they are doing or who they are supporting.
Another question. If they go through with a special Executive Committee meeting to change the bylaws, then go through with a special convention to endorse a candidate, will delegates be willing to attend a convention in September after seeing the problems of the February convention and now the manipulations by Chair Patterson, why would they waste money to attend.
I am not sure what the payoff is to the CAGOP, but we’ve proven repeatedly they are corrupt and this is the latest. If I was Kevin Faulconer I’d tell them to stop.
We will continue tracking the malfeasance of the party bosses and their consultants.

Its easy to see, the ‘Abernathy Machine’ (Bill Thomas/Kevin McCarthy) in Fresno has been working to take over the Party for decades. The now have the chairmanship and control the Ex Committee. This has been their long term aim. Now they want to install Faulconer so they can control the Governorship too.
Louis Buhler, just emailed that it will be a zoom convention….in other words….A sham! (he is always behind the proxy harvest)
“The proposed process would allow all CAGOP delegates to participate in a virtual meeting where the endorsement vote would take place. Candidates would be nominated by delegates who could submit their signature electronically on a candidate’s nomination petition. The new process is proposed as an amendment to the CAGOP bylaws, since there is no existing provision for endorsement in a statewide recall election.”
