Friends, This morning, I issued the following statement after receiving the written resignation of Scott Miller, Chairman of the Salt Lake County Republican Party. What happened to these women was inexcusable and I commend them for their courage in talking about it publicly. Today marks a step in the right direction, and I am committed to helping the county party implement systems that ensure that this never happens again. "This morning I received an email from Scott Miller voluntarily resigning his position as Chairman of the Salt Lake County Republican Party. I support his resignation and will work closely with the county party to ensure that the upcoming convention is successful. Yesterday’s public revelation of David Robinson’s abhorrent behavior towards some of the most respected women in our party, and Miller’s own role in that behavior, show me we have work to do. Before ever speaking with the press, these women bravely raised their concerns with county party leadership, and nothing was done. That is unacceptable. During my chairmanship, I have spent countless hours working side by side with brilliant and dedicated Republican women, including every woman who was quoted in the Tribune article. I am personally grateful for their contribution to our party and their courage. I have seen, firsthand, how many women face an uphill battle in the political arena, including within my own party. We have more work to do, and I am committed to doing it. On May 1st, the Utah Republican Party will elect a new Chair. I am confident our delegates will elect a Chair committed to continuing this work, and ensuring that no woman ever has a similar experience again. I also commit, after my Chairmanship has concluded, that my volunteer efforts with the Republican Party will focus on continuing to recruit, support, and help elect amazing female candidates." Thank you, Chairman Derek Brown Utah Republican Party 15 W.
