SALT LAKE CITY — Republican congressional candidate Mia Love drew a line between herself and Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson in their first joint appearance Tuesday, while the six-term congressman said he’s heard it all before.
Speaking at the Utah Taxpayers Association’s annual conference, the Saratoga Springs mayor decided “to have some fun here” and talk about the campaign.
“I’ve already been described as being no different than the other six candidates that my opponent has been up against. We’ll have to see about that,” she said.
These are crazy times for Utah in terms of political temperature. Locally it seems the big questions are about how tax-payer dollars are spent. It seems I-15 is indefinitely under construction with huge projects and which construction consultant utah lands those jobs has some definite job security.
