ST. GEORGE, Utah — Governor Spencer Cox and Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson appeared at an event on Tuesday where dozens of county commissioners from across the state rallied in support of their re-election bid.
"I have a long history with Spencer and really admire what he does and I support what he's trying to do for the state of Utah," said San Juan County Commissioner Bruce Adams . "I’ll let other people figure out how they feel about that," he said of the convention vote."What I know is we have overwhelming support all across the state and it’s because we get things done. Because we’re working hard. We’re keeping the promises we made four years ago. And so what matters to me is the people can see that when they vote in the primary and in November."
But he also filed a lawsuit against the state of Utah to ensure his Lt. Governor pick was on the ballot. Layne Bangerter, a former Trump administration official, has lived in Utah before, but most recently in Idaho. The Lyman campaign disagreed with an decision by an independent advisor overseeing the governor's race that Bangerter did not meet the residency requirement.
