Hats off to Salt Lake County Mayor-elect Ben McAdams and his campaign team for running the cleanest, most non-smearish campaign in recent history. His attitude and advertising were a delight.
I didn't hear a single nasty, anti-Mark Crockett comment — only positive, progressive, pro-McAdams ideas for the future of Salt Lake County. In a sea of attack ads, full of lies and personal slams, it has been refreshing to see McAdams' positive TV ads, billboards and interviews.
In a year where big, tainted money talks, McAdams and his team have chosen the high road. He and his team can be proud of the way they conducted themselves.
