Utah Republican Party interns sign letter calling party secretary ‘unfit’ for her office

Interns and employees of the Utah Republican Party have called out the current party secretary, Lisa Shepherd, as being unfit for her leadership post in a letter sent to state Republican delegates on Thursday.

The letter is signed by eight individuals, three of whom are currently listed as party staff on the party website, who say Shepherd engaged in unprofessional behavior and contributed to a work environment that became hostile, tense, antagonistic and unhealthy when she was present.

“It has been our experience that State Party Secretary Lisa Shepherd has demonstrated by her actions that she is unfit for this office,” the letter states.
