Brian King Elected Chair of Utah Democratic Party
SALT LAKE CITY – In a significant leadership shift, Brian King, a candidate for the 2024 gubernatorial race and former Utah State Representative, was elected as the new chair of the Utah Democratic Party during the state’s 2025 State Convention held in Ogden on Saturday. The announcement marks a new chapter for the party, as delegates convened to express their aspirations and reshape their political vision.
“I’m honored to have earned the trust of our delegates to serve as Chair for the next two years,” King stated in a press release. He emphasized the importance of connecting with Utah Democrats across the state over the past four months, who shared their hopes and frustrations regarding the political landscape.
Diane Lewis, the outgoing chair, expressed her excitement in handing over leadership to King, hopeful about the future direction under his guidance. Alongside King, key officers were also elected: Susan Merrill as Vice Chair, Brad Dickter as Secretary, and Catherine Voutaz as Treasurer.
With fresh faces at the helm, King is enthusiastic about the road ahead, asserting, “We have the vision. We have the momentum. We have the drive. Now, let’s get to work, and let’s win.” The restructured leadership aims to reinforce the party’s commitment to creating a stronger, more inclusive Utah.
The convention not only reaffirmed the party’s goals but also served as a platform for delegates to connect and inspire renewed engagement among supporters throughout the state. With King leading the way, the Utah Democratic Party is poised to build momentum as it heads towards the 2024 elections, focusing on unity and forward-thinking initiatives.
