Utah GOP Chairman Derek Brown has announced he will not run for a second term as the party’s leader, telling supporters that he wants to spend more time with his family and is ready ”to pass the baton.”
“Party leadership service, after all, is no different from public service. It is designed to be seasonal,” Brown wrote Tuesday to fellow party members. “You commit to serving 100% for a short season, wear yourself out in the process, and then pass the heavy baton to another who likewise feels that ‘subtle nudge’ to serve.”
Brown’s email boasted that during his two-year term, the party has managed to pay down its debt, raise more than $1 million, hold a virtual convention necessitated by the pandemic and reclaim the 4th Congressional District, which Republicans lost to Democrat Ben McAdams in 2018.

He was a Black man from the University of Miami. They were white guys from BYU.
He played defense. They played offense.
He was a starter. They were reserves.
He made a team-leading seven tackles when the “Just Win Baby” Raiders won Super Bowl XV 40 years ago in the Louisiana Superdome. They barely played.
But of all his Raiders teammates, Todd Christensen and Marc Wilson would play a bigger role in his future than any of the rest.
If not for them, he wouldn’t have changed churches; and if he hadn’t changed churches he almost assuredly wouldn’t have wound up in Utah; and if he hadn’t wound up in Utah, he would not be a member of the 117th Congress of the United States of America.
