Utah's 2016 Primary Election Ballot Process

There has been a lot of talk about this years election process. This is a short two minute video that explains how Utah is holding their 2016 primary elections. 

Beginning in 2016, Utah's candidates have several options to get on the primary election ballot. First is to collect signatures, second is to use the caucus/convention system or to do both. Brad Horrocks has chosen to do both. 

"Earlier this year, the Utah Lieutenant Governor's Office advised candidates to pursue both the traditional path to the primary ballot through Utah's convention system and the new signature-gathering option."

"Mark Thomas, director of elections with Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox's office, said this process is designed to get more Utahns involved in the voting process."

How willing are you to work with those that are already there?

Answer:

Thank you for your question. I am very willing to continue working with the existing members of local and state government. I also look forward to working with future and current members that are unknown to me. To answer your question, I have never met someone with whom I couldn’t work. I believe this is a key element of success in any situation. I have included references from different facets of government with whom I have worked with on numerous issues.

Memory

As a lifelong resident of Uintah County, I have lived through some of the ups and downs of the oilfield. 

In my thirties, the economy had slowed to a crawl. My wife (Susan) and I were doing all we could to support our four children; Susan was a school teacher and I ran B&D.  I didn't think things could get worse when I received the news that B&D was on fire. I rushed there to find my wife fighting the flames with a garden hose that was connected to a neighbor's house. We did our best with what we had available. Soon friends and former co-workers from Vernal City Fire Department arrived to help and the fire was eventually put out. To say the least, "times were tough" but eventually things got better. Thanks to many in the community, the loss was devastating but not fatal.

Uintah County is a great home. Our core values: hard work, determination, and perseverance make us strong and our sense of community makes us secure. As commissioner, I promise to hold true to the community and to these core values; in return, I ask for your vote.
