Delegate Meeting Round Two:

facebooktwittergoogle_plusredditpinterestlinkedin

I was called last week to be a replacement delegate. I went to the second delegate meeting on Tue night. These are updated notes I took on the candidates. I went to the different candidates and asked, “Why should I vote for you?” I then took notes. When I talked to other delegates, there were a lot of complaints about how bad the communication system was between leadership and the delegates. One State Central Committee, candidate expressed concern that he didn’t know about Wednesday meeting until the day before.

There is no new info on the County chair candidates from last night as I couldn’t tell who was who and I didn’t want to attach the wrong notes to the wrong candidate.

I sent emails to some of these people and some replied giving me their websites in case you want to read more.

Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

County Party Chair

Ryan Boudwin  ryan4utah.com

  • In his next term, he would like to concentrate on promoting the Republican message.
  • Q: What are your feelings toward the various tangents of the Republican Party? We are a big tent. If we can agree on 80% on issues we are good.
  • Q: What is your explanation on the citizen complaint that a signature candidate was not promoted by the Republican Party as the cactus candidate was? Ryan said that the rules of the party require that they have to be official candidate of the Republican Party and those are the people we can promote. The Signature candidate did not meet the rules of the party to be a candidate.
