A Hangout for Utahns & Those Interested in Utah Opinions
I want to pass along regret to a fellow Utah blogger out there… Jeff Bell. I was rooting for him to win his campaign run for Utah Democratic Party Chair. Although I disagree with about 80% of what he says, well more like 90% of what he says (cough), I appreciate the fact that he consistently […]
One week ago I had the honor of attending Utah Republican Party’s Convention at the Davis Conference Center in Layton. I congratulate the Republican Party’s new leaders:
Chair: Dave Hansen
Vice-Chair: Morgan Philpot
Secretary: Christy Aschzinger
Treasurer: Mike McCauley
For more information about the Party, you can visit their website at www.utgop.org.
Congratulations to those selected on Congressman-elect, Jason Chaffetz’ staff:
Chief of Staff: Justin Harding
District Director: Jennifer Scott
Deputy District Director: Dell Smith
What an honorable group of people to work with!
Two-term U.S. Senator Gordon Smith (R-Oregon) lost his seat due to the Constitution Party drawing conservative votes away to their own party candidate. Here are the unofficial final results:
Jeff Merkley (Democrat) … 48.8%
Gordon Smith (Republican) … 45.7%
Dave Brownlow (Constitution) … 5.2%
The Constitution Party’s National Chairman, James Clymer, brazenly declared
It’s good news for the Constitution Party when […]
Being LDS and politically active I frequently field questions from colleagues about where Mormons stand on certain issues. More exact, I frequently hear remarks from these colleagues indicating “Mormons vote as a block” or “Mormons are all Republicans.” Rather than being defensive about my religious beliefs, I normally present the argument that the LDS Church endorses […]
The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting Utah’s new Senate President is West Jordan’s Michael Waddoups. This leadership change could prove a good thing for Utah! A new Majority Leader was selected, too, Sheldon Killpack. Congratulations to both.
I am honored to have participated so heavily in the Jason Chaffetz campaign since February. As of now, with over 94% of the precincts reporting, Jason has collected 64.8% of the vote. Congratulations Congressman-elect! I look forward to seeing your voice in Congress!
In legislative district 42 (in my hometown), Jim Bird sweeps with 66.6% of the vote. Congratulations Jim. Your efforts have been noticed and we appreciate you!
West Valley City’s Lions Club sponsored a debate this evening between Utah’s 3rd Congressional District candidates, Jason Chaffetz, Jim Noorlander, and Bennion Spencer. I made time to attend. By the time I left at 7:40 (for other obligations) Bennion Spencer had not even made the time to arrive. Regardless, Spencer had requested someone represent him […]
I was disgusted today upon reading the Salt Lake Tribune’s endorsement of Bennion Spencer for Congressman in Utah’s 3rd Congressional District. Most of us believe newspapers are supposed to reflect integrity in its journalistic point of view, or um, I mean actually telling the truth. Their endorsement is nothing short of distored truths (and lies). Let me provide some examples:
The editorial […]
