members spoke out against these rumors to the delegation but to no avail.
I was also a delegate and heard no rumors until Sharon said emphatically that she has had no meetings with Sviggum or other of the Republican leadership. She said they probably wouldn't meet with her if she asked, which she did not.
At that point I realized something had been said.
Sharon Henry-Blythe is a fine person who deserves and gets a lot of respect. Having seen and experienced her leadership up close, I can say that with confidence.
There was a big field of candidates and most did not get endorsed. Not being endorsed in no way takes away from Sharon's character or her great gifts. I for one look forward to seeing her name at the head of great projects and initiatives for many years to come.
