The current head of the Utah Democratic Party figured prominently in a Wednesday news release about the group’s convention Saturday, with a mention of her reelection bid even plopped in toward the end.
Jeff Merchant, one of Daisy Thomas’ rivals for the post of party chair, said he doesn’t necessarily think the discrepancy is appropriate, but he’s not concerned about it.
“We’re running a campaign on the things that I think are important to the party, which include things like the massive amount of debt and credit card debt, the complete lack of staff and that most of the county chairs and other officials in the party don’t feel like they’ve been supported by the state party,” he said.
