Stonewall Demos Appoint New Vice Chair, Board

Utah Stonewall Democrats has elected Adam Bass to replace Chris Johnson as vice chair of the organization. Johnson resigned from the position last month after being appointed to the Salt Lake City Human Rights Commission.
      Bass, who has remained active in the organization and is a former member of the Riverton City Council, had run for the seat at the Utah State Democratic Convention in May, but lost to Johnson in a contentious caucus.
      The organization also filled two other vacancies in its Nov. 6 monthly meeting. Katie Holland, director of new business at a public relations firm and wife of Democratic Party Chairman Wayne Holland, and JoNell Evans, human resource director and coordinator of training for TURN Community Services, were elected to one- and two-year terms, respectively.
      “I am very excited about the future of Utah Stonewall Democrats with our current board. The diverse perspective and experiences of our board, the diversity of our ages, family situations, economic standing, gender, sexual orientation, and life experiences will allow us to approach the progress of LGBT equality and Democratic principles with vision and understanding. We’ve got a great team assembled, and are hard at work fighting for progress and equality,” said Chairman Mike Picardi. —MA
