Davis County Clipper: Bountiful man re-elected to Democrat post



Tom Busselberg 24.JUL.07

BOUNTIFUL — A Bountiful man has been re-elected to a high state Democratic post. Rob Miller was unanimously elected by delegates to the Utah Democratic Party convention to continue in his role as vice-chairman of the state party. Miller is a native Utahn and long-time Bountiful resident. Chairman Wayne Holland was also returned to his seat.

The pair are due to lead the party for the next two years.

“I am honored to be able to help lead Democrats in Utah through the upcoming pivotal elections,” says Miller.

“Like other Democrats across the West, I have been helping to lay a foundation to break the stranglehold of one-party role. (The year) 2008 promises to be a good year for Democrats and other Utahns working to restore responsible, effective government,” he says.

At the recent party convention and Jefferson & Jackson fund raiser, appearances featured visits from two contenders for the Democratic nomination for President: Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico and Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut.

Miller, who ran unsuccessfully for the county commission last year, says he is intimately familiar with issues facing Davis County residents and well-positioned within the party to help Democrats in northern Utah elect city, county and state representatives.

Miller, his wife, Michelle, and their three children are residents of Bountiful.

Currently, he is an advertising executive for the Enterprise Newspaper Group and a board member for Democrats in the West. He recently stepped down after two years as vice president of the Mental Health Association of Utah and three years with the American Cancer Society’s Man-to-Man Prostate Cancer group.

He is also the moderator and primary author of a widely read political blog, The Utah Amicus.
