Amid a controversial effort to switch the San Diego County Republican Party's endorsement from one candidate to another, Paula Whitsell is out as party chair today and Corey Gustafson is in.
Signs for GOP candidates, including Steve Garvey, are seen at the Republican Party of San Diego County's election night watch party. U.S. Grant Hotel in San Diego, Calif. March 5, 2024.
The county GOP initially endorsed Andrew Hayes in the 75th Assembly District race over polarizing fellow Republican Carl DeMaio. Following the primary, in which the two Republicans handily beat Democratic challengers Kevin Juza and Christie Dougherty, Whitsell attempted to switch the party's endorsement to DeMaio — who won the primary by 24 points.
"I am proud to be the party's endorsed candidate," Hayes said."I'm glad the Republican Party of San Diego County has reaffirmed and recommitted this endorsement for the General Election."
