National Committeeman


Dear Delegates,

Thank you for your service to our party. Service such as yours is what keeps our republic and party great.

Our party and our nation are at a critical juncture. We must decide if we will remain committed to the principles which have made us the greatest nation on the face of the earth. I believe that a Republican Party committed to its principles is essential for our nation to remain strong.

As the father of five children, I am concerned for their future. I am blessed to have a supportive wife, who supports me in my efforts to serve the party. In my profession, I currently run the retail operations for a major telecommunications company in the state and have an MBA from Utah State University.

In the party, I have served nine years on the state central committee where I have served as the Constitution and Bylaws vice chair. I was also selected by former chairmen Rob Bishop and Joe Cannon to serve on the rules and resolutions committee. In Davis County I have served as a legislative chair, rules chair and elections chair.

For the past three years, I have been the chairman of Grassroots and have written their legislative report since 2001 (utahgrassroots.org).

Amongst the decisions we must face as a party are whether we will remain committed to principles of limited government, lower taxes, protection of all of our rights and freedoms including the right to life. As a party, we must decide if we will be a party that believes in the rule of law including our party laws but also laws such as our immigration laws.. On the national level we must look at our primary process and insure that all states have a voice in the selection of our presidential nominee.

I will be an effective voice for these issues, because of the service I have rendered in the past which includes:

· In 2008, I wrote and sponsored a bylaw in Davis County which called on all candidates to state whether they supported the party platform.
· Since I was vice chair of the Constitution and Bylaws Committee, I have joined with others to insure state delegates have a voice in the party. I have spoken on state convention floor to protect the rights of state delegates to sponsor bylaws and constitutional amendments.
· I led the effort in Davis County to pass Amendment Three which protected traditional marriage.
· In 2004, I sponsored resolutions at county and state conventions which called upon the State Senate to pass an abortion resolution that it has not passed the previous session. The bill passed that session. I also passed resolutions in 2000 which called upon the party to choose a pro life vice presidential nominee.
· In 1999, I sponsored resolutions which called upon the state party to not pass any further gun laws. Both resolutions passed at the state convention and state central committee.

I am proud to be a conservative who supports our party platform. You know I will stand strong for you and the party because I have done so in the past. If elected I will make my self accessible to you. If you have any questions prior to or after the convention please contact me at donguymon@msn.com or call me at 801-574-9461.

Thank You,

Don Guymon
