maklelan running for UT Senate seat?

Post by _malkie »

Is this our Dan McClellan?

I remember him as a decent guy, faithful LDS. I don't remember him as a Democrat, though, so perhaps it's another person altogether.

This looks like him, right? Image

So, what do you guys think?

If he were running for your state Senate in your district, would you vote for him?

Why? / Why not?

Is that the only reason why you'd vote for him?

How are elections in Utah now? Still mostly Repos, except in perhaps Rose Park and around the UofU campus? That's how it was when I lived there until I moved out in the late 90's. This Dan McClellan seems fine, although will he cower to the LDS lobbyists like they all do?

I wonder if Dan McClellan lacked the requisite horns and pitchfork to run as a regular Utah Republican?
