OGDEN, Utah — As the abbreviated, weeklong campaign period for those vying for the vacant District 10 Utah House spot winds down, some who will be making the pick say involvement with the Democratic Party figures big in who they back.
“We wouldn’t have a Democratic Party if it wasn’t for people who’ve sacrificed over the years,” said Robyn Halverson, one of 37 Democratic Party delegates who will vote on who replaces Lou Shurtliff, the District 10 representative until her death late last month. Party involvement, in fact, is the top factor for her in parsing among the eight hopefuls.
