Some discussion from our recent neighborhood meeting

Last Saturday, I invited members of the precinct to come to a neighborhood meeting to discuss the Republican candidates for Senator. Only 2 of the 3 State delegates were able to attend, so the following discussion will be based on my (Jamee’s) and Keri’s experiences with the candidates as well as impressions from precinct members.

The top two from our discussion were Tim Bridgewater and Mike Lee (in that order). Our 3rd delegate is a big supporter of Cherilyn Eager, so I anticipate he will vote for her, but since he was unable to attend, we weren’t able to hear his viewpoint.  Both Keri and I are in favor of Tim Bridgewater. I will be very pleased if either (or both) Bridgewater and Lee beat Bennett out of the primary.

Is Lee the lead candidate of Republican challengers for Senate?

A member of our precinct sent me this today:

“Today I heard a radio ad by the Bob Bennett campaign, a negative ad about Mike Lee. That suggested to me that Lee is the lead candidate in that pack of Republican challengers. Is that the case? It surprised me because I hadn’t heard that there was an obvious frontrunner there. Maybe I am not paying close enough attention.”

Senatorial Debate at UVU – April 2, 2010

Last week I attended the Senatorial debate at UVU. There were 10 candidates for Senator representing 3 political parties- Republican, Democratic and Constitution. I am going to share what I learned from the candidates focusing only on the Republican candidates for whom I will seriously consider voting.

County Candidates Meet and Mingle and Debates – April 6

I attended the Utah County Meet and Mingle for all the candidates running for Utah County office as well as the County Commissioner Debate between Joel Wright and Gary Anderson. As a Precinct Chair, I am both a state and county delegate, so I am attending as many meetings and debates as I can. I’m going to make a quick list of the people I met and the position for which they are running- and my general impressions.
