Robert D Miller, Davis County Commissioner (Seat A)

I give my unqualified endorsement to Rob Miller for Davis County Commission! Rob is a great guy who has a great message for Davis county. I met him through his blog: The Utah Amicus.

I think my favorite thing about Rob and the reason I know he’d be a great county commissioner is that he quickly responds to any question or concern in person and always asks for and listens to peoples’ suggestions then acts on them. There have been multiple times I’ve posted on this site things about Democrats and politics in Utah where Rob has been the one to respond to comments people post on my site with his phone number and an invitation for the commentor to give him a call. That is cool…and it reflects well on Rob and the Utah Democratic Party that he is so willing to listen to every point of view. I tried to find information on his opponent online…but was unsuccessful. There isn’t anything in Google indicating the guy even has a website. Oh well…I guess if he figures running as an (R) is all the campaigning he needs to do to win I don’t even need to bother posting his name. Go Rob!

UPDATE: Ok…I was wrong. Brett Millburn does have a website. Sorry I got snotty there.

1. Bret actually has a pretty good website. Mine is not quite completed as I have been working on Christian Burridge’s campaign, as well as The Utah Amicus, and traveling the state as vice chair. Keep a eye on my website however as I am putting all of my heart into it.

   Jeremy, thanks for your support, it means the world to me.

3. So what’s wrong with Millburn? (from David County Watch–http://daviscountywatch.blogspot.com/2006/04/meet-candidate-bret-millburn.html)

   I saw Bret Millburn last night and now I’ve found my Candidate for Seat A.

   Let’s contrast Millburn with Jana Truman, who is running for Commission Seat B. Truman said she was a Conservative, but did not feel that it worked in practice. Millburn said he believed that conservative principles could be successfully implemented. Millburn actually levelled a gutsy critisism at the county citizens for saying that we are conservative, but then asking for things that make us anything but conservative. The word he used was, ‘hypocrites’. He used the Recreation Center as an example of something that we should not ask the government to provide. He actual spent most of his time talking about positive changes that could be made to make County Government more transparent and accessible to the citizens. Both have been heavily involved in politics, but Millburn seemed to have a humility that Truman lacked. He made the meeting less a referendum on him and more about the issues he cared about.

   It seemed that he had the support of almost everyone in the room until he was asked a question about his views on Education. At this point, one individual, seemed concerned. Let me specify first, that Education has very little to do with the duties of a Commissioner, but Millburn tackled the question anyway. The question posed was on how Millburn felt about credits being given to those who choose private schools for their children. Millburn responded that he felt that it was right that public schools should exist, but that we should hold them accountable for what they do. He feels that if public schools needed to compete that they would start to improve. I feel as Millburn does. This is a core Conservative principle, and even though Millburn didn’t have to state this view, he did.

   This isn’t a ton of information, but it is pretty libertarian.
