Current Position: Law Professor
Affiliation: Democrat
Candidate: 2020 Governor

I’m running for governor because I want to fight for working people. Despite Utah’s successes, too many of our families are still struggling to get by.  Every Utahn deserves access to affordable health care, a great education, clean air, and a government that respects public opinion.

Like many of you, I am frustrated by a state government that too often ignores the public. The Utah Constitution says, “Each bill passed by the Legislature, before it becomes a law, shall be presented to the governor.” This check and balance in Utah is broken. Bills are rubber stamped and often approved without listening to the voices of ordinary Utahns.

Expect a crowded GOP field for the open seat in Utah, which hasn’t elected a Democratic governor since Scott Matheson in 1980.

We rate the race for governor in Utah as Solid Republican.
