Here is an email message from Chairman Thomas Wright inviting all Republicans to help decide how our nomination system works:
In a recent meeting with Republican leaders from across the state, we
discussed the need to address how our Caucus and Convention nomination system
works. We recognize there are some challenges associated with it and the Utah
Republican Party is committed to providing a system that works for Utah and
supplies the highest participation by its citizenry.
Because we believe that public input and participation is vital to a healthy
electorate, I want to invite you and your neighbors to share your thoughts and
ideas at www.utgopgrowth.com.
I created this website so you can share your ideas on how the Republican Party
should select its candidates. I want all Utahns to have their voices heard and
have a say in who appears on their ballot in November.
We want to flesh out the Direct Primary model, the Caucus and Convention
model and create a process that best represents Utah. Just as we recognize that
the Caucus and Convention model has flaws, we also want Utahns to understand the
downsides and flaws of a Direct Primary. We are committed to listening and to
making changes that will open up doors to a more engaged citizenry.
You can go to www.utgopgrowth.com
and submit proposals until March 23. You can also review and comment on other
ideas that have been put forward. In addition to the website, The Republican
Party will be hosting a series of Town Hall meetings to meet with voters face to
face.
Republican leaders will meet again on March 23 to discuss the ideas that have
been submitted. This is your chance to make change. Please join the
conversation and encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same! Go to
www.utgopgrowth.com and submit a proposal today!
