Founded in 1987, the Utah Elephant Club is the premier fundraising and engagement arm of the Utah Republican Party. Our mission is simple but powerful: to strengthen conservative leadership, support Republican candidates, and help fund the operational needs that keep our Party strong.
Through monthly luncheons and exclusive events, members have the unique opportunity to connect directly with Utah’s top political leaders — including members of our federal delegation, state legislators, Governors, and other influential voices shaping our state’s future.
At the Utah Elephant Club, we believe political engagement should be personal, accessible, and impactful. By bringing Republicans together in a welcoming, energized environment, we make it easier for voters to stay informed, involved, and inspired.
Join us and be part of the movement advancing conservative principles and building a stronger Utah for generations to come.
