The Contra Costa Republican Party unanimously elected Tom Del Beccaro on Monday night to his third consecutive term as chairman.

The vote comes after Del Beccaro struggled with internal dissent that led to the resignation of two members and one alternate to the party’s executive committee. One member later rescinded her resignation and has returned to the board.

There was talk among several members of the party about challenging Del Beccaro but he ran unopposed.

All the current board members ran unopposed, as well. Eugene Kreps will again serve as first vice chairman. Jo Anne Erickson, who had resigned, will serve as second vice chairwoman. Michelle Cloyne returns as secretary.

Darcy Linn, a former congressional candidate who ran against Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Alamo, in November, was nominated to serve as treasurer and will be sworn in next year. She will replace former treasurer Kris Hunt who resigned in November because she felt Del Beccaro put herself and party at risk by failing to obtain mandatory workers compensation insurance for the committee’s only employee.

Del Beccaro is also running for vice president of the state Republican Party, which meets in February in Sacramento to select its party leaders.
