Dear Utah activists,
On Saturday, May 8, the Utah Republican Party will hold its State Nominating Convention at the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City. The Republican nomination for one ofUtah’s Senate seats will be up for grabs, and NumbersUSA has identified a “True Reform” Candidate in the race. NumbersUSA DOES NOT endorse overall candidacies, however, we do tell you who has the best immigration platform. We know most of you are not delegates at the convention, but if you know a delegate, we encourage you to share our ratings with them. We also know that voters consider many issues before making their final selection. Cherilyn Eagar has filled out our Immigration-Reduction survey and agrees with NumbersUSA on all our positions. We have rated incumbent Senator Bob Bennettbased on his votes over the last several Congresses. We have also rated candidates Tim Bridgewater and Mike Lee based on their prior statements.Please view a side-by-side comparison of the candidates on our website… NumbersUSA is strictly non-partisan, with no preference for one party, one candidate or another, but the side-by-side comparison on our website clearly shows which candidate would do the best job on immigration issues. During the 2008 elections, lots of Democrats, Independents, Libertarians and Republicans were identified as committed to deep reductions in overall immigration. A candidate needs to receive 60% of the votes at the convention to win the party’s nomination. Should no candidate obtain the necessary votes, the top two candidates will run against each other in a primary.
