State party chair Dunn stepping down

[Freddie Stubbs]

He 'put energy into the party,' rubbed some the wrong way

WASHINGTON - Donald Dunn, chairman of the Utah Democratic Party, said Tuesday he will not seek re-election to the post he has held for nearly two years.

Under his leadership, the party fielded a candidate in every federal, statewide and state Senate race on the 2004 election ballot, but made only minor inroads, gaining one state Senate seat and winning two high-profile races in Salt Lake County.

Statewide, Utah once again elected a Republican governor and gave President Bush his largest margin of victory in the country.

Dunn will leave the state party to become president of Vigilant, a St. Louis-based company specializing in lobbying state and local governments. He will also be married in June to Salt Lake County Democratic Party Chairwoman Nichole Adams.
