The RR PAC opposes the decision of the Utah GOP to unilaterally cancel the Republican presidential primary vote in Utah and thereby silence the voices of hundreds of thousands of registered Republican voters. This decision is contrary to the purpose the Utah Legislature appropriated funding for Utah voters to participate in the presidential primary.
RR PAC President Charlie Freedman expressed the concerns of the PAC board that “the current selection of the Republican candidate for the 2024 presidential election will be one of the most contested in recent memory. Moreover, the GOP nominee will have a tremendous responsibility to get our country back on track to economic prosperity. In such an important selection, at such a momentous time, the voice of every registered Republican deserves to be heard through a primary election.”
The RR PAC believes when more people participate in the selection of our elected leaders, the better the process and the better the outcomes. Holding a preference poll among caucus attendees falls far short and undermines republican principles. For the voice of Utahn Republicans to be heard, and to ensure presidential candidates pay attention to Utah rather than being a “flyover” state, we urge the Utah GOP Chair to reconsider this shortsighted and insular decision.
