Assemblyman Chad Mayes cancelled a fundraiser luncheon after American Children First announced they would protest the affair after he voted for the largest gas tax in American history.

UPDATE: 8/7: Added to list: Yolo County GOP Central Committee, Shawn Steel, and Lincoln Clubs and more.

UPDATE: 7/28: Ventura County GOP Central Committee has also called for the removal of Mayes bringing tally to 9 county central committees.

The list of state GOP leaders and organizations calling for the resignation of California GOP Assembly Leader Chad Mayes (Yucca Valley) following his vote to raise gas taxes more than 60 cents per gallon and our exposing his affair is growing.

For better or worse, our attention during the Mayes-Olsen affair saga has been primarily focused on GOP Assembly Leader Chad Mayes.

It is time to now pivot and start focusing some energy on Stanislaus County Supervisor Kristin Olsen. Olsen is also currently the Vice-Chair of the California Republican Party and is supposedly Chairman Jim Brulte's handpicked replacement to succeed him one he steps down from leadership.

This week we broke the news story about how California GOP Assembly Leader Chad Mayes was having an affair with former GOP Assembly Leader Kristin Olsen. We came into possession of a letter sent by Olsen's estranged husband to Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon's office requesting an investigation to see if state funds or resources were used by the paramours to carry out their trysts.

We have been asking several questions about this affair. But most importantly, was there a quid pro quo arrangement of any kind between Speaker Rendon's office and either Chad Mayes or Kristin Olsen.

"Cheating Chad" Mayes made the front page of the Sacramento Bee this evening after they published an article detailing his affair with former Assembly GOP Leader Kristin Olsen.

Congratulations!

From the article:​

Yesterday was a disaster for Assemblyman Chad Mayes.

First, we exposed his affair with former GOP Assembly Leader Kristin Olsen. Then he betrayed his party and constituents by supporting the cap and trade bill. Then he yucked it up on the couch with "Moonbeam" Jerry Brown and anchor baby Kevin de Leon laughing about how they just stuck it to working class Californians.

This morning American Children First sent out a press release calling for the ouster of Assemblyman Chad Mayes (R-Yucca Valley) from his leadership position. This comes on the heels of yesterday's exclusive report by our organization about the affair.

Though there had been many rumors circulating for many, many months, we were the first to confirm that Olsen's husband, Rod, had sent a letter to Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon's office requesting an investigation.​

Additionally, I called the offices of Chad Mayes and Rendon seeking comment and status updates on the investigation into this affair, if any.

Here are the audio clips from those calls:​
