Letter: An example for all politicians

(Screengrab from PSA) Utah's major party candidates for governor — Republican Spencer Cox and Democrat Chris Peterson — released three public service announcements on Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2020 to encourage the public to accept the results, regardless of the outcome, in the presidential race.

I was so elated to see the wonderful political ad with your lieutenant governor, Spencer Cox, and his opponent, Chris Peterson. What a civilized and elevating exchange this was.

“We can debate without degrading each other’s character and without hating each other” and “we will work together whoever wins.”

This is to be commended and congratulated and should set an example to every other politician in the country and every country.
