Thank you, Salt Lake Tribune, for your article “Most guv hopefuls balk at a statewide stay-at-home order.” It highlighted Jan Garbett as the only candidate who supports the responsible and scientifically based response to the coronavirus pandemic — to shut this state down.
Gov. Gary Herbert is placing lives at risk and prolonging the economic impact to our state.
Why is it that it’s only the women — Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall and candidate Garbett — who recognize their responsibilities as leaders?
Because there is a significant chance the virus will reappear in second or third waves, my vote will go to the only candidate who will act to protect the lives of the people I love.
