CalExitNow Pushes for Disqualification of California Republican Party Amid Legislative Outreach Gains Speed

CalExitNow's Bold Maneuvers in California Politics



Recent Developments



On November 6, 2026, CalExitNow, a significant advocacy group, announced two pivotal actions aimed at reshaping the political landscape in California. The first is a formal petition directed at the California Secretary of State, Shirley Weber, requesting an investigation into the conduct of the California Republican Party. The second initiative revolves around a legislative outreach campaign, which has already gathered responses from a notable portion of California lawmakers.

Petition for Disqualification



The petition, spearheaded by CalExitNow's founder, Marcus Ruiz-Evans, focuses on whether the California Republican Party should face disqualification from future elections. It highlights alleged misconduct under specific sections of California Elections Code: 5102, 5154, and 5200. The crux of the petition stems from controversial remarks made by former President Donald Trump concerning potential Iranian attacks on American cities. In his statements, Trump mentioned Los Angeles and San Diego, and he was also seen as encouraging federal military presence within California.

The petition raises critical inquiries: Has the California Republican Party's conduct breached the necessary statutes for disqualification? CalExitNow is asking state officials to consider these allegations seriously and, should the evidence warrant it, take necessary action.

Legislative Outreach Initiative



In addition to the petition, CalExitNow has recently launched a vigorous outreach campaign targeting California's legislators. The organization sought to establish meetings regarding a proposed Joint Resolution aimed at authorizing an official examination of California's sovereignty. Remarkably, within just one week, more than 40% of all California lawmakers and over 55% of elected Democrats responded positively to the outreach. Nearly 45% have either conducted or scheduled meetings to discuss the proposed resolution further.

This resolution aims to explore the legal and peaceful ways in which California might consider separating from the United States. To facilitate this examination, CalExitNow envisions a Blue Ribbon Commission that would delve into various aspects of the potential transition, including constitutional, economic, diplomatic, security, and administrative factors.

Political Implications and Future Outlook



The organization remains optimistic about introducing the Joint Resolution in both chambers of the California legislature on December 7, 2026, coinciding with the start of the 2027-2028 legislative session. As J.J. Ames, Jr., the Political Director of CalExitNow remarked,
