Thanks for the Endorsement Bob! We hope to serve Utah County with pride.
My endorsement is to the slate of candidates led by Richard Davis, a BYU Political Science Professor, and while I respect all that Mary Lou, Kena and Millicent have done for the Party here in Utah County my personal endorsement is for the New Utah County Dems slate which includes:
County Chair, Richard Davis
Vice Chair, Larry Brown
Secretary, Hinckley Jones-Sanpei
Treasurer, Kristin Gerdy
After speaking with Richard I feel that the vision offered by the New Utah County Dems is what is needed here in Utah County. I appreciate all of the hard work that Richard, Larry and Hinckley have put into creating the new County Ten Year Strategic Plan and I believe that this slate of candidates for county office will effectively implement the Plan. I also commend Mary Lou and Millicent for the part they played in creating this plan.
I believe the experience these four exceptional people will bring to the County Party will help to transform the County Party. To learn more about the New Utah County Dems visit:
