Executive Director of the OCGOP, Never Trumper and homosexual/Latino OCGOP DEI hire.
Nikki Haley Delegate during the 2024 Presidential Election Cycle.
OCGOP apparatchik and party snitch whose sole job is to gate-keep anybody to the right of George W. Bush.
Signed a letter on June 27th, 2025, along with five other elected California Republicans in the California State Legislature, requesting that the Trump Administration stop worksite deportation raids in our state, as well as grant legal status for illegal aliens in California and expand worker visas for corporations located in California.
Voted for Assembly Bill (AB) 715 at the behest of JPAC (Jewish Political Affairs Committee) which hinders the First Amendment rights of Californians. AB 715 establishes both a statewide “Office of Civil Rights” and “Anti-Semitism Prevention Coordinator” in charge of monitoring claims of “discrimination” in California schools. Under the guise of concern over children, AB 715 is an attempt by California’s very powerful Jewish Lobby to establish an infrastructure which prevents all criticism of Israeli and Jewish influence in our state, an egregious violation of our First Amendment Rights as U.S. citizens.
Never made a single statement in support of President Trump during his false indictments through the 2024 Republican Primary.

Current Treasurer of the OCOP, Never Trumper and Israel-First Republican.
Fleischman has a history of vetting candidates and officials in the OCGOP for sufficient Zionist sympathies. Famously accompanied former OCGOP Chair Scott Baugh and then Costa Mesa City Council Member, Jim Ringheimer, to Israel in 2015. Following this trip, Scott Baugh would be the OCGOP endorsed Congressional candidate for his district in the 2018, 2022 & 2024 primaries.
Fleischman is a well-known Never Trumper in Orange County who advocated for changes to the California GOP delegate apportionment process during the 2023 CAGOP Convention in Irvine to harm President Trump’s chances at the 2024 GOP Presidential Nomination. Fleischman and other DeSantis acolytes actively worked to make sure that all of California’s 169 Presidential Delegates would be awarded based on a percentage of the vote rather than the traditional winner-take-all basis, which would have harmed President Trump's chances at the nomination.
Chairman of the OCGOP and former Mayor of Newport Beach.
Endorses pro-amnesty and anti-free speech candidates like Diane Dixon and Laurie Davies. During a meeting at the Saddleback Republican Assembly on October 16th, 2025, O’Neill promised that he would “ruin the political career” of anyone who attempted to primary OCGOP endorsed candidates during the 2026 election cycle, particularly Diane Dixon and Gracey Van Der Mark.
Refuses to clarify the OCGOP position on illegal immigration and whether the OCGOP actually supports President Trump's signature policy of mass deportations.
Huntington Beach City Council Member & OCGOP Latina DEI hire.
No actual qualifications to be on Huntington Beach City Council or California State Assembly other than having an (R) next to her name and being a “wise Latina.”
Controversially put forth a motion to make Huntington Beach a sister city with Ramat Gan, Israel, which passed in September 2024. Since doing so, Van Der Mark has become the endorsed OCGOP candidate for State Assembly District 72 for the 2026 election cycle, in addition to boasting a “six figure war chest” according to reports by OCGOP treasurer Jon Fleischman.
Former OCGOP Chairman, Member of the Orange County GOP Central Committee and Never Trumper.
Whitaker's tenure as OCGOP Chairman (2014-2024) witnessed Orange County Republicans experience their worst midterm defeat in party history, a 6-0 sweep in midterm Congressional races during the 2018 primary while they never managed to retain the 3-3 split in Orange County Congressional seats prior to the disastrous midterms of 2018.
Over the course of his decade as Chairman, Whitaker NOT ONCE managed to host President Trump in an official capacity despite President Trump being in Orange County three times since 2020 alone. For context, the OCGOP managed to host Nikki Haley at a party function in Newport Beach in February 2024 the night after the 2024 Nevada Primary which saw President Trump on the ballot as “OTHER CANDIDATE”. Adding insult to injury, Whitaker hosted transgender Bruce Jenner when it was considering a run for California Governor at an OCGOP Central Committee meeting in June 2021 but never extended the same courtesy to President Trump while Chairman of the OCGOP.
