Two interviews were posted today. The first is by Bryan Catherman of UtahPolitics.org. The second is over at P2PNet.net.

Jennifer Napier-Pearce at Inside Utah interviewed me for her weekly podcast. Get it here.

My family and I will be attending International Days in Price this weekend.

Boing Boing linked me today. Thank you Mark.

Many people from around the country have since emailed me expressing support but regretting that they can’t vote for me. There are two ways non-Utahns can help. First, spread the word. Second, contribute financially. It is no secret that this campaign hinges on national attention. Please help get that nationwide gaze focused on Utah.

My interview with Jack Stockwell on K-Talk yesterday morning is available here.

Looks like State Representative Steve Urquhart is interested in this race.

I will be headed to the Bicknell International Film Festival this weekend before returning for the Days of ’47 on the 25th.

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Independence Day. I spent time this weekend in Logan and Huntsville.

Logan celebrates on the 1st and puts on a great show thanks to local fireworks manufacturer Fireworks West.

Huntsville reminds me in many ways of the Bountiful of my youth, it was refreshing to see a 4th of July celebration that was such a community effort.

The City Weekly has published a cover story by Jamie Gadette on this campaign.

The online contribution section is up.

I am pleased to announce that I have hired a campaign manager. Her name is Carla Wiese and she has served as the Northern Utah Coordinator for the Democratic party and on several Weber County campaigns. Carla shares my vision for this campaign and wants to focus on rural support.

This Saturday morning, the 25th, I will be running in the Arts Festival 5K. I’ll also be present at the XMission Sponsor Patio at the Arts Festival throughout the day. If you see me, please say hello.

I am out of town for a wedding until the 19th of June. Chats will be suspended until my return. Until then, check out my newly completed biography page.

Fox 13 “Good Day Utah” interviewed me today. Please see the Media Page to view the clip.

The Deseret News has published a very nice article on this race.
