California Republican Party Chairman Jim Brulte, a former state legislator who took over the party at a low point two years ago, was overwhelmingly reelected to another term on Sunday.
Brulte assumed control of a party badly in need of rebuilding. In addition to holding no statewide offices and dropping below 30 percent of the state’s registered voters, it squandered a handful of congressional races and was relegated to super-minority status in both the Assembly and the Senate for the first time in over a century.
