Effort to recall Contra Costa County DA has died
Recall effort to oust Contra Costa County DA fails
Recall effort to oust Contra Costa County DA fails to get enough signatures.
MARTINEZ, Calif. - The campaign to recall Contra Costa County District Attorney Diana Becton has ended.
County election officials told the San Francisco Chronicle the campaign did not submit signatures or a revised petition by last month’s deadline.
Campaign volunteers said the group is still meeting to discuss strategy, but for now there are no active recall efforts.
Organizers behind the recall had accused Becton of failing to secure justice for crime victims, while Becton said the campaign was an attempt to undermine the will of voters who elected her.

Summer arrives Sunday, but will it FEEL like it?
Tomorrow will be a near-carbon copy of today. Expect a cloudy morning with patchy coastal drizzle followed by slow clearing to the coast, keeping daytime temperatures below seasonal temperatures. A contrast between the cloudy coast and sunlit inland areas will spin up strong onshore winds. Expect widespread gusts of 20 to 30 mph, with gusts up to 40 mph. Highs will bank from low-mid 60s at the Coast to 81 inland. A Beach Hazards Statement remains active through early Sunday for sneaker waves and dangerous rip currents. Do NOT turn your back to the ocean and stay out of the water. The cooling upper trough will lose its grip as shortwave high pressure begins compressing the marine layer, starting a subtle warming trend on Father's Day and the first day of summer on Sunday.
