Message from the Chairman:
This season draws us back to the quiet miracle of
Bethlehem—the birth of Jesus Christ, whose life affirms that truth is
real, redemption is possible, and every soul is known and loved by
God. Utah families of many faiths celebrate their own stories of light
and deliverance; though our traditions differ, they share a common
message:
God strengthens families, lifts communities, and
protects the cause of liberty.
Our freedoms endure when faith is firm, families are
strong, and service is given. These God-given principles elevate our
citizenship and shape us into a more compassionate, courageous, and
unified people. They remind us that preserving liberty is the daily
responsibility of each of us.
As we look ahead, may we walk in greater truth, serve
with greater purpose, and defend with greater resolve the rights
endowed by our Creator. And may the light of Christ guide us into a
new year filled with a renewed commitment to the sacred gift of
freedom.
Sincerely,
|
Robert Axson Chairman,

Sign Today to Restore Representative Government
I recently hosted a networking event with
the Utah Tech College Republicans where these bright conservative
leaders were able to learn from and visit with Congresswoman Celeste
Maloy, Attorney General Derek Brown, State School Board Member Joann
Brinton, Representative Neil Walter, St. George Councilwoman Michelle
Tanner and other conservative leaders in Utah. Watching these young
leaders engage directly with local, state, and federal elected
officials was a powerful reminder of the unique representative
government we enjoy here in Utah.
Proposition 4, however, was designed to
fundamentally alter this form of government. Bankrolled by
out-of-state liberal special interest groups, this proposition erodes
Utah's representative form of government, jeopardizing the very
process and policies that have driven Utah's community strength,
economic success and unmatched quality of life. Labor Unions, the
ACLU, and Texas-based Action Now Initiative spent millions pushing
their agenda, not ours. With our government under attack, first by a
misleading proposition and then by an unelected judge, I am concerned
about the Utah these young leaders will inherit.
I applaud the many local volunteers who
are helping us collect the 170,000 signatures needed to overturn
Proposition 4. Chairman Axson recently announced a historic $4.3M
donation from Securing American Greatness to enhance our efforts and
bring in reinforcements. These Utah-driven efforts to restore proper
representation are supported by President Trump and the Republican
National Committee.
We need your help to reverse Proposition
4 and protect Utah’s representative government for future generations!
First, please commit to signing the petition to repeal Proposition 4
at UFRG.org. Then please consider donating your time
or money to support this critical effort. Your support ensures we have
the muscle to fight back and right this wrong.
Sincerely, Brad Bonham RNC National Committeeman, Utah Republican

Signature Gathering: Save
Representative Government
THE PROBLEM
A Utah judge recently threw
out the Legislature’s constitutionally drawn congressional map and
replaced it with one created by a far-left group—creating a deep-blue
district where a radical socialist could win in solid-red Utah.
Utah’s Constitution is clear:
drawing districts is the Legislature’s responsibility. This ruling
undermines both the Constitution and the separation of powers,
allowing an unelected judge to take over redistricting.
“The Legislature shall divide
the state into congressional, legislative, and other districts
accordingly.” — Utah Constitution, Article IX, Section
1
THE
SOLUTION
A new citizen initiative aims to overturn Prop. 4 and
restore redistricting authority to the Legislature. To get it on the
November 2026 ballot, we need 170,000 signatures. Counties have
already begun signature-gathering events, and great places to collect
include precinct meetings, county events, and busy community
locations.
The time to act is now—before winter
weather and the holiday season slow things down. Every signature truly
makes a difference.
