Four men and one woman are vying to take the reins of the Utah Republican Party as current chair Derek Brown is stepping aside after a single two-year term.
Leading Utah’s dominant political party for the next two years seems like a plum assignment, but there are some difficult challenges facing its next leader. Those include the seemingly endless fight over whether candidates should be allowed to gather signatures to secure a place on the primary ballot, bypassing the traditional caucus and convention path.

We have almost finished moving our things from Oaklawn and it is only a matter of a few more days until it will no longer be in my family.
My son, Johnny, and I have discovered many things in the house that have not been seen in years, but are treasures to keep. I am sure that in years to come members of our family will wonder why in the world did they keep these things?
In the old smoke house high up on the rafters were sacks of bottle caps. When I was asked why these were kept, I explained that my Daddy had grown up in the depression and there was a shortage of metal. He would save the bottle caps from drinks that was sold in the store. The store yard was dirt back then and Daddy would put those bottle caps around the gas pumps so our customers would not have to stand in the mud.
