About Us

The Founding 40

The RR PAC is made up of the “Founding Forty” board members (in honor of our 40th President Ronald Reagan who embodied the spirit of the values we espouse), who guide the efforts of the organization as well as utilize their networks to identify, recruit and support candidates aligned with PAC values.  Support comes in the form of contributions, hosting fundraisers, making introductions, and providing voter data as a campaign tool.

Our Story

Where We Started

Utah exists so often and in so many ways as an island of tranquility in a sea of chaos.  While many states and even our nation have suffered at the hands of political polarization, Utah has prospered as a result of elected officials and community leaders who stay true to the principles of common sense, pragmatic, problem solving conservatism.

Where It’s Going

Utah’s position as the best economy in the nation and best place to live did not happen by accident.  Our state’s success is the result of focused effort to find common ground and act collaboratively.  As Utah continues to grow, what has come naturally and easily will become increasingly challenging.  Maintaining Utah’s top position, and making sure we don’t grow apart as we grow larger, will take more effort than ever.  

The Goal…

The RR PAC was formed to ensure our elected officials remain true to the principles of collaboration and common ground, rather than trend towards the polarization seen at places where politicians are rewarded for fighting rather than solving problems.
