What are the Utah GOP Priorities?
Given the Utah Republican State Central committee will be voting next month to elect a new Chair, Vice Chair, and Party Secretary until the next organizing convention in summer, and history has shown that these newly elected party officers will likely be re-elected at the next organizing convention, it is critical that we as State Party Central Committee members decide now what direction we feel the party should be taking in the next 2-4 years.
I would like to open a discussion as to what “issues” not people are important in deciding who we should elect next month for these important positions.
What exactly should the role of the party leadership have in policy and public perception? Should we direct the C&B committee to craft a more detailed job description for the Vice Chair’s position, and clearly define a succession pathway when officer’s resign?
Should party officer’s be allowed to “take a leave of absence” to compete in a pre-convention election cycle, or should party officers be required to decide for themselves, which is more important and resign from their party positions to participate in the election cycle.
As the Chairman of the Audit committee for the State Party, I am concerned over the lack of oversight on the expenditures and lack of clear responsibility of party financial obligations this last election cycle.
