Robert Vaughn not re-elected

Robert Vaughn, who had claimed he was the Chairman of the Los Angeles County Republican Party until a judge ruled he was not, was not re-elected to the Party's county Central Committee. Only members of the Central Committee can hold leadership positions in it.

We first covered the controversy surrounding Vaughn after a Phil Liberatore for Congress mail piece claimed Vaughn was the Chairman of the county party and had endorsed Liberatore over Rep. Gary Miller.

Even though defeated for Central Committee, Vaughn is still a candidate for Congress. He is challenging Rep. Grace Napolitano in the General Election.

In the election for Central Committee Vaughn placed 17th out 0f 18 candidates with 2.35% of the vote. The top seven were elected.
