County Convention Season is Here!
County Convention season is here! When it’s an “off year” for partisan elections, we hold our county conventions in the fall. This is so we can select county leaders, greet old friends, meet new ones, and gear up for the coming elections. We’ll be sending postcard invitations to our known Uniters a week or two before your convention, but if you’d like to save the date now, you can find a complete list of our county conventions at unitedutah.org/calendar.

A Concrete Step Toward Unity
As Uniters, we are passionate moderates. While that might seem like a contradiction in terms, it’s true, and we’re needed now more than ever! We don’t get excited about extreme political positions; we get energized by the reforms that will bring us together and that will bring the government back to the people.

PETITION TO SENATOR MIKE LEE TO NOT BLOCK ELECTORAL COLLEGE CERTIFICATION
To Senator Mike Lee of Utah:
We the undersigned urge you not to join on to the effort by some members of Congress to block the certification of the electoral college votes on January 6. We believe there is no reason for this year's general election - the legitimate process of the expression of the will of the voters - to be overturned by the Congress. There has been no evidence of massive fraud by election officials that would have resulted in a different outcome. We urge you to uphold the process by which the voters, not the Congress, determine who the next president will be. -

Petition to Support Ending Public Funding of Closed Primary Elections
We the undersigned believe that public money should not be spent on a closed primary exclusively for one political party. We believe the legislature should allow taxpayer money to be spent only for primary elections that are open to all voters, regardless of party affiliation. We believe that funding a closed primary is like taxation without representation, which our ancestors fought against over 200 years ago. We believe that should not happen again today.
We support the United Utah Party's efforts to end public funding of closed primary elections.

Petition to Legislative Leaders to Make Utah Attorney General a Non-Partisan Office
The following petition to Speaker Brad Wilson and President Adams is being proposed by the United Utah Party:
Utah's Attorney General has been the subject of scrutiny for possible corruption for the past 20 years. The past two occupants and the current occupant of the office repeatedly have been accused of catering to large Republican campaign donors. As well, the current incumbent has failed to investigate potential violations of state law and policy. For example, the Attorney General has not investigated recent instances of government contracts being made outside of the normal contracting processes. Also, they include Attorney General Reyes' failure to investigate whether Governor Herbert violated the law in offering an inducement to a GOP gubernatorial primary candidate to withdraw from the race and endorse the governor's favored candidate. Repeatedly, Attorney General Reyes has failed to investigate those of his own political party.
Therefore, we the undersigned, believe Utah's Attorney General should be above political party and call on you to initiate a constitutional amendment making the office of Utah Attorney General non-partisan - an office to be elected by the voters in a non-partisan election rather than through a political party nomination process.
