Letter: Amid GOP coverage, a hint of Jenny Wilson’s candidacy — at last
(Chris Detrick | The Salt Lake Tribune) In this March 21, 2018 photo, Democratic Salt Lake County Council member Jenny Wilson during the House District 24 Democratic Caucus at Ensign Elementary in Salt Lake City. Democrats in deep-red Utah are looking to Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams to flip one of the state's four Republican-controlled congressional districts and help take control of the U.S. House. But first he has to win the party's nomination against four challengers at the party's state convention Saturday, April 28, 2018. Wilson is the favorite against three opponents, including a former IRS agent and a marketing professional inspired by Sen. Bernie Sanders. The two-term councilwoman was the first woman elected to the Salt Lake County Council.

In the past few weeks, The Salt Lake Tribune has covered in detail every twist and turn of the Republican Party convention as they try to figure out who’s the truest of the true Republicans.
Then, in an article about the primary senatorial race between Mike Kennedy and Mitt Romney, the writer actually included a picture of the loyal opposition, Jenny Wilson, along with about one column inch of copy about her. I almost fell off my chair!
Thank you so much for letting your readers knows that Democrat is running for the office. At least we’ll be able to put a name to the opposition’s candidate when The Tribune prints its endorsements later in the year.
