No Contest

The last day to file for State seats is Monday, March 17th. As of right now there are still quite a few candidates running unopposed. It is always nice to have choices. I hope that a few more qualified people will brave the election madness and give us some options. The following offices have currently only 1 person running for them:

State Auditor
Utah Senate Districts: 14, 16, 23
Utah House Districts: 1,2,3,4,10,13,17,18,19,23,26,28,36,37,39,44,47,52,53,56,65,66,67,71,74
No one has filed in Utah House District 70 (Richfield).

Many of these seats are held by incumbents, but not all. There are even a few Democrats running unopposed. I know I would love to see another choice in my district, but as of yet no one has come forward. If you know of anyone sitting on the fence, go give them a shove. With this being a presidential election year the increased voter turnout could give more people a shot at winning.
