On Saturday, Republicans are expected to descend on the Maverik Center in West Valley City for the Utah GOP’s annual state convention. It’s the first major in-person political event since the coronavirus pandemic brought public gatherings in Utah to a halt last year.
Delegates will chose new leadership to guide the party for the next two years. They’ll also hear from top Republican officials including Gov. Spencer Cox and the state’s congressional delegation.
Speaking of Congress, this will be the first time Sen. Mitt Romney will make an appearance in front of party activists since he voted twice to impeach former President Donald Trump. Delegates will consider a resolution to censure Romney during the convention.
