Fred C Cox for the Utah Republican State Central Committee

 Fred C Cox for the Utah Republican State Central Committee

Being a member of the SCC is a volunteer, elected, political party position, representing Salt Lake County to the State Party.

We not only need someone to show up to the meetings, (I have 100% attendance), we need someone that can work with others.

At the end of 2019 and the beginning on 2020, I was the original sponsor (1 of 5) for the Utah 2019 Tax referendum. Working with voters throughout the state, both liberal, conservative, and everything in between, and as volunteers, we were able to gather over 170,000 signatures in 29 counties, exceeding the 116,000 required signatures in 15 counties. Because of the success of our team, the Legislature and the Governor repealed 2019 SB 2001, instead of facing the backlash of the voters that fall.

There are 180 SCC members Statewide, representing tens of thousands of county delegates, 4 thousand state delegates, and hundreds of thousands of party affiliates. The meetings have been in St George during snow storms, Fillmore, Park City, Erda / Grantsville, Ogden, Lehi, etc.   I have have had 100% attendance, even before being elected in 2011, and since. The meetings can take all day, and have been in the past, argumentative. Some are wondering why I would run again?  

I believe we must stand up and be heard or watch our constitutionally protected rights disappear. We can't continue to let government take over our lives.

Keep Utah's Flag

 Senator. I was not happy you voted to change Utah's flag in committee


A short note as to why you may wish to consider changing that vote on the floor. I wrote this after seeing the recent TV ads funded by the state and a recent op-ed by Senator Mike Lee. 

vexillologists. Yes the organization created by one person with rules written by one person. Yes, over the years he has enough followers to get an award from an organization he created. The real problem? There have been many comments re a new flag. People were asked to submit a new flag. Then people were asked to pick one of the new flags. Were people asked if they wanted a new flag or if they could pick the current one? NO! This has been led by a few. The ads on TV are funded by a state agency funded by a few. The only real, but somewhat  biased survey of what Utahns think about a new flag in general is on the agency's website. They hired a firm to ask less than 800 Utahns if they wanted a new flag. About 1/3 were a no, 1/3 were a yes and 1/3 were undecided. This didn't even have a pick between our current clarified 2011 flag and this proposed one. Yes, we live in a republic and yes former Rep Handy and State Senator McCay have done all they can to convince us we need a new flag, but they don't have a majority of support and so they send out TV ads and now this op-ed? Rubbish. It appears the lobbyist and consultant hired by the state agency to promote this new flag is being asked to earn their keep. Let's keep our current flag.
