El Paso GOP Chair Retires
El Pas County Republican Party Chairman Tom Holmsley has notified the Party that he will be retiring as Chairman effective May 1st, 2015.
Holmsley and his wife Mary (she is a member of the state committee) gave no indication as the reason for retirement. Holmsley has been the head of the local GOP for about 5 years.
The Vice-Chair of the Party will assume the duties until a new election takes place, which I believe will be next March. The Vice-Chair is Becky Hermosillo who also chairs the West El Paso Republican Women.
Bob Pena will continue to serve as the Elections Administrator for the GOP.
During Holmsley's tenure the GOP saw some pretty impressive turnout in their base during the gubernatorial year elections.

Look, everyone reading this knows I'm a member of the Democratic Party and am pretty liberal in my political views. While the Chairman and I don't see eye-to-eye on matters of public policy, he is a perfect gentleman, open, and an effective administrator. I'd say he's been a worthy adversary but I can't honestly say I've ever felt like he as adversarial.
He and his lovely wife are very warm, polite, and welcoming people. Whenever I needed comment or an interview he was always very gracious knowing full well I typically have an opposing view point.
I'm truly sorry to see him go, but most of the other folks in place are cut from the same cloth.
Happy trails Mr. Chairman.
