And in a flash, #E2Summit19 has come and gone. We are asked every year how we find our incredible volunteers - these Utah college students eagerly assist staff and attendees however they can. We couldn’t do it without you, volunteers. See you next year!l

I had a great time at the @E2Summit with my friend, Gary Cohen talking about the issues facing the country and the need for bipartisanship to solve them. We have to put aside the sound bites and ideology and work to get things done. – at Park City, UT
“You have several serious candidates who are polling from 4 to 5 percent upwards. This is going to be a very changeable, malleable process. Democrats got rid of winner take all primaries ...” -@benensonj #E2Summit19 1/2

"We have to work in a bipartisan way and reach across the aisle to find common sense, bipartisan solutions. We have to govern and get things done. That’s what people in America want today. They want their elected officials to just get to work and get things done." -@GovLarryHogan
“Take the Bureau of Economic Analysis Numbers for GDP in 2016 and compare it to 2018 - there’s an 80 percent improvement." -@andypuzder #E2Summit19 1/2

I am here at the annual @E2Summit telling the story of Maryland’s incredible economic turnaround. More businesses are now open and more people are working than ever before in the history of our state. We are setting an example for the rest of America.
“The tone of what is going on in America--politics has invaded people’s lives in a way it didn’t use to. This toxicity is seeping in everywhere. There may be a sense that we can’t keep going on like this.” -@Ksolstisanderson #E2Summit19
"Candidates are supposed to pay attention to the voters’ backstory, and candidates who think it’s the other way around will come unstuck." -@LordAshcroft #E2Summit19
Entitlemania is defined as a state of mind where children believe they should have anything they want while at the same time believing they don’t have to put effort in to get it. Two simple factors:
1. Giving too much
2. Taking away the struggle

"What do I want for the future of our families? Prevail upon your children that they may know faith, family, traditions and the warmth of embrace for they are both your seed and harvest." -@richwatts #E2Summit19

”There are plenty of people who don’t want democracy to work who are becoming very good at pushing out information that is designed to manipulate.” -@sgourley #E2Summit19 – at Utah, USA
