Another Challenger for Cannon
Watch for Bob Roberts, a former all-American football player for Brigham Young University who served as mayor of West Jordan in the 1990s, to announce soon that he will be a Democratic candidate for Utah's 3rd Congressional District against Republican incumbent Chris Cannon.
Cannon, who is seeking his sixth term, already has a Republican opponent in millionaire real estate developer John D. Jacob. State Sen. Curtis Bramble, R-Provo, has also said he is considering running for the seat, but has not made a commitment.
Roberts, who recently returned from a mission presidency in South Africa for the LDS Church, has been an educator by profession, teaching at the elementary, junior high and high school level, where he also has been a football and tennis coach.
He played defensive back for BYU in the early 1970s, and was a co-captain for legendary coach Lavell Edwards for two years.
The Utah Democratic Party recruited Roberts on the recommendation of Larry EchoHawk, the former attorney general of Idaho who played football with Roberts at BYU and currently is a law professor at the school.
Cheers,
Paul Rolly
