An inside job?
Milton Witt was elected just last summer to the position of vice chairman of the Salt Lake County Republican Party. At the time, he ran on the platform of helping more Republicans win elections and insuring incumbent Republicans would retain their seats.
Now, just six months later, he has resigned his position so he can run for the Legislature against Republican incumbent Kory Holdaway of Taylorsville.
Since one of the functions of the vice chair is to organize party caucus meetings, where the delegates to the party's convention are chosen, Witt was in a position to select the hosts for the caucuses and line up folks to run for delegates.
Republican insiders say Witt's candidacy against Holdaway is an attempt by the party's right wing to take out a moderate, pro-public education Republican legislator in favor of a candidate more inclined to favor vouchers for private and home schools.
Cheers, Paul Rolly

That's a far-fetched, black helicopter, paranoid speculation. Anyone who is involved at any level within the Republican Party knows that caucus hosts, locations, etc. are not secured until March. There goes Rolly again painting the GOP as playing insider ball.
Nice fact-checking....
