UNITED UTAH PARTY ANNOUNCES CACHE COUNTY CONVENTION
Logan gathering is one of five UUP county conventions across the state
LOGAN, UT – On Saturday, April 21, at 11:00 am, the United Utah Party will be holding its Cache County Convention at the Whittier Community Center Auditorium in Logan. This will be one of five UUP county conventions in preparation for the UUP state convention on April 28 at Midvale Middle School in Midvale.
Eric Eliason, the UUP candidate for the House of Representatives in Utah’s First Congressional District which represents Cache County, will be speaking at the convention, as well as Richard Davis, the United Utah Party Chair.
“In Eric Eliason, Cache County voters now have an alternative to the broken two-party system,” Davis said. “As shown by the 900-plus people who turned out to our caucuses last month, more and more people across the state are finding a new political home in the United Utah Party.”
At the convention, county officers for the party will be elected. All members of the UUP are automatically designated as delegates to the convention and are eligible to participate in the process.
The United Utah Party has 19 candidates running for office throughout the state.
