As the State Delegate representing Tooele Precinct 19, my goal is to participate in all candidate events for State Candidates and provide updates on my attendance.
I aim to attend every event featuring a state candidate who comes to Tooele and am dedicated to approaching all candidates with an open mind leading up to the State Convention in May.
I want to clarify that I am not endorsing any candidate; I'm just sharing with you all the information and insights I've gathered.
This past Saturday, I attended a meeting with Colby Jenkins and Trent Staggs, and I'd like to offer a brief overview of each candidate.
If you reside in T19, please share your thoughts on the candidates with me so I can make an informed decision when voting for T19.
Colby Jenkins is running for Congress in Second Congressional District. He is a West Point graduate and former Army Special Forces Green Beret Colonel who served in Afganistan and in Latin America. He spoke about "lend[ing] his experience to correct our nation’s standing in the world" and how he will use his experiance to "limit the federal government’s reach into CD2 while empowering local leaders to have the freedom and decision-making space they need." colbyforutah.com
Later in the day, I attended an event for Trent Staggs. He is running for the Senate. Trent is a full-time entrepreneur and business owner with more than 20 years of experience running and managing successful Fortune 500 companies and also serves currently as the mayor of Riverton City where he has served for 10 years. He spoke about how he is committed to standing up against the establishment and his platform centers on smaller government, safer families and a stronger economy. trentstaggs.com
