Show Notes

This week, Utah voters are receiving their ballots in the mail. In addition to choosing candidates for a variety of political races, you will be asked about important questions about judges, constitutional amendments, property tax changes, and much more, all depending on where you live. Our expert panel breaks down what you can expect, and where you can find resources to be a more informed voter.

Plus, new polling suggests some interesting trends in both the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump and the Utah governor's race between Gov. Spencer Cox, and his main opponents Democrat Brian King, and write-in candidate Phil Lyman. What is happening in these top ticket races? And what impact could that have on the down-ballot contests?

And could Senator Mitt Romney, Senator Mike Lee, former Governor Jon Huntsman Jr., or Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes be on the short list for a cabinet position depending on who wins the White House in November?

In this episode, host Jason Perry is joined by Corey Norman — the chief of staff for Congressman John Curtis, Suzanne Harrison — Democratic member of the Salt Lake County Council, and Robert Gehrke — news columnist with The Salt Lake Tribune.
