To all Utah County Democrats:

As the Utah County Party Chair, I want to thank all of those who participated as delegates at the state convention. Thank you to those who were supportive, and most importantly to those who exercised the enormous amount of patience needed that day. I recognize the numerous frustrations that were borne by many; I am deeply distressed that these situations occurred. Our newly organized Executive Committee will round up, recognize, and remedy as many of these issues that are in our control. I realize there are many conditions we as Utah County Democrats may not be able to completely fix, but should be able to influence for the better.

I, as many of you, volunteer my time to strive to increase the recognition of Utah County Democrats as a formidable voice, not only in the county, but in the state as well. I have high regards for all of those who contribute and bring their positive designs to the table for the betterment of the county party. I am far from a perfect person, but I am constantly learning how to find resolutions to the problems and concerns that are blatantly apparent and those that will arise in the future. I believe that there are many reasons for situations that have occurred, and those that will occur in the future, but very few, if any, have valid excuses. I am not interested in excuses. Excuses are made when people don’t want to be accountable. Accountability is always there for someone to claim responsibility for both good and bad situations.

If you have not received a copy of the 2012 State Delegate List and believe you should have, or if you feel you should have a need for this list, please send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Thank you,
Robert McMurray, Chair
