I live in Virginia and because of this, I would like to talk to all Utahns for a moment. The Virginia Republican Party canceled their presidential primary because they would rather protect the president than have a fair fight. I was looking forward to casting my ballot in the Republican primary. I am unable to vote for the person I want, but you are.
Whether you vote for the president or one of his opponents, please exercise your right to vote because it’s guaranteed by your state. Utah may be one of the most conservative states, but it is also one of the most independent-minded states. I implore you to vote, not for me, but because you have the right and privilege to.
