Letter: Huntsman for Senate, Cox for governor

(Francisco Kjolseth | Tribune file photo) Passing the time between campaign stops, Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox takes in a spirited card game between his wife Abby and their daughter Emma Kate, 12, while touring Box Elder County on Tuesday, July 30, 2019.

There seems to be some speculation hereabouts that Ambassador Jon Huntsman should “run for Utah Governor.”

I have a better suggestion. The Republican Party would have a double winner if they would put him up for Mike Lee’s U.S. Senate seat and leave Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox to run for the “first seat.”

Mr. Huntsman’s knowledge and experience would be better used in the Senate, just as Mr. Cox’s knowledge, experience and charisma would benefit us all best as governor.
