Mr. Gale, your accusations against Cherilyn Eagar and the other candidates are unfounded and false. You base these on an “anonymous letter,” a theatrical over-sensitivity and hearsay. The mounting irregularities which occurred in the 2nd District race are still being probed by the Utah GOP office.
It is clear that Mr. Gale, a state delegate, unemployed and
diehard Chris Stewart volunteer from day one, is misinformed. He persists in
spreading lies, and I wonder why?
Even more flabbergasting, Mr. Gale goes on to hold the less-than-aboveboard
Eureka Mayor Milt Hanks in high
esteem for a slanderous speech that was not only subjective and highly suspect,
but also chock full of innuendos and lies. In less than six-minutes, Hank’s speech
and the anonymous letter he waved around in the air were insidious acts which gravely
impacted the serious hard work and dedication by legitimate 2nd
District candidates who took the process and party decorum seriously.
Whether you support a candidate or not, to take the very low
road like it appears Stewart’s campaign staffers did to win at all odds in my
opinion clearly demonstrates the lack of public virtue lacking among today’s
politicians and their consultants — no wonder Congress’ approval rating is at
an all-time low.
Gale’s accusation that she "yelled" at him because of his
support for Chris Stewart is a figment of his highly sensitive imagination and
nothing more.
I waited for a week to post after the GOP convention to get
my mind around the magnitude of what happened last weekend and put some
perspective on it.
I knew the politics game would be a tough place from the
start. I made a vow I would only support good people with integrity, people who
wanted to do the right thing no matter their chances of winning, and who had
the backbone deserving of my public relations experience.
I can happily say that after spending several hours at the
Utah GOP headquarters this past week to debrief on the 2nd District
race experience, I met many of the other candidates who are good and honorable
people. This gives me hope.
I also know I backed the right candidate in the 4th
District. A big shout out goes to Stephen Sandstrom! Stephen ran a hard-fought
and positive race, and his support for Mia Love to avoid a Primary slugfest was the right decision for
Utah and for the country.
Where next for EUG? Upward and onward to ensure Sean Reyes becomes Utah’s next Attorney General
because he is the superior legal candidate who encompasses the integrity, compassion
and outstanding leadership skills to get the AG office back on track and effectively
protect all Utahns.
While I am not sure I will ever attend another GOP State
Convention as a delegate, I do have hope that good will come out of all of
this.
As someone I respect said to me just after the convention
when I was at my lowest: “Remember, it’s a marathon not a sprint.”
