On behalf of the
Wasatch County GOP Executive Committee, I would like to thank all county delegates
and others who attended the Organizing Convention on April 27th. We
realize that there were a number of other meetings and events in the community
and appreciate those who took the time to be there.
We are grateful to all
of the elected officials who attended and spoke. We appreciated hearing an
update on current issues and on some of the work that they are doing in their
various roles in the state and in the county. We thank them for their dedication
and service.
We appreciate those
who were willing to run for or continue serving in a county party position.
The following are the County Party Officers:
Chair: Morgan
Murdock
Vice-Chair:
Jared Rigby
No one filed to run for
Chair or Vice-Chair before the deadline. According to the County Party Bylaws,
"If no declarations are received, the current County Chair and/or County
Vice-Chair shall retain his/her/their seat(s)."
Secretary: Michelle
Holmes (uncontested race; elected by acclamation)
Treasurer: Brent
Titcomb
Rep. to State Central
Committee: Renee Green (uncontested race; elected by acclamation)
A few amendments to
the County Party Bylaws were proposed and were approved unanimously. The
Bylaws posted on wasatchgop.com reflect the recent amendments. One of the
amendments was the addition of a new position to the County GOP Executive
Committee: Media Specialist.
The new bylaw states:
2.2.5 Media Specialist.
The Media Specialist will provide Wasatch County Republican Party
information to members of the County Party and to the public by doing the
following: regularly update the County Party Website, post information on
social media, write and submit press releases and news articles, and
publish notices and advertisements of upcoming meetings, conventions,
Neighborhood Caucus Elections, and other events. All public communications
must be approved by the County Party Chair or Vice Chair. (Any interviews
by the media will take place with the Chair or Vice-Chair.) The Media Specialist
shall serve as a member of the County Central Committee and shall perform all
other duties assigned by the Chair. The Media Specialist shall be an
automatic delegate to the County Conventions.
According to the
County Party Bylaws, “In the event of a vacancy…the County Central Committee…shall appoint a
successor by a majority vote.”
We
will have a County GOP Central Committee Meeting on
Thursday,
May 25th at
7:00 PM
at
the Heber City Police Dpt. Community Room
(301
S. Main St. Heber) to appoint a Media Specialist.
All
precinct chairs and vice-chairs are expected to attend.
The
meeting is also open to the public.
Any
residents of Wasatch County who are registered Republicans are eligible to be
considered for this
position. The individual who is appointed will serve for the remainder of the
two-year term (until the County Organizing Convention in 2019). If you are
interested in being considered for the new Media Specialist position or if you
would like to know more about the position, please email Morgan Murdock at morganmmurdock@gmail.com as
soon as possible. If you know of qualified individuals who may be interested in
serving in this position, please forward this information to them.
If
you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please feel free to contact
me or any member of the Executive Committee at any time.
Best
Regards,
Morgan
