Former Phil Lyman campaign manager Casey Gale accused Utahns of not doing enough to fight for Lyman during the 2024 gubernatorial election, saying, "It's not recoverable at this point. It will become one of the most wicked states in the nation."

Lyman mentioned Gale by name during his speech at the recently held GOP state convention where he lost to incumbent Chair Rob Axson. Previously the Salt Lake County GOP Executive Committee removed Gale from his position on the Utah Republican Party’s State Central Committee after he used a homophobic slur in a social media post targeting former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
