Announcing the Eldon Money Circle |
|
|
 Eldon Money
Senator Money served in the Utah State legislature as a state representative or a state senator for over 20 years. He represented south county.
The Money Circle will be a donor club of those who donate at least $50 a month (or $600 per year) to the county party. This donor circle will help build the county party into a viable, competitive organization as it was during Senator Money’s time in the state legislature, reminding all of us of a time when Democrats won elections in Utah
County and served honorably to promote the values of the party and the voters of Utah County.
With the help from donors to the Money Circle, the party can once again field candidates who will win and change policy in a positive direction in our county and state.
Those interested in joining the Money Circle may go to the party website, http://www.utahcountydems.com, and contribute through ActBlue by clicking the Get Involved! link at the top of the page. Alternatively, checks may be sent to the party’s address: Utah County Democratic Party, PO Box 1813, Orem, UT 84097-1813. |
