An Offer They Can't Refuse
Hopefuls know it will take several thousand dollars to run an effective campaign for the Utah House of Representatives.
But running for leadership in the House apparently isn't cheap either, and it looks as though at least one representative is willing to grease quite a few palms to become House majority leader next month.
Rep. Steve Urquhart, R-St. George, the House majority whip, has collected $28,000 so far this year for his campaign, a hefty amount for someone whose seat is so safe nobody gives his Democratic opponent a chance.
A look at Urquhart's campaign expenditures indicated he has given $1,500 each to Republican candidates Sylvia Anderson, Tom Wright, Jim Bird, Mark Walker, Phil Conder, Sandy Thackeray and George Froerer. He has given $500 each to GOP hopefuls -- some of whom don't even have an opponent -- Kay McKiff, Keith Grover, Ken Sumsion, and Stephen Sandstrom.
That's a total of $12,500 Urquhart has given to other Republican hopefuls for the House. Urquhart is running for majority leader and, apparently, he'd like a few of those who might be voting in the leadership races to feel obliged.
Meanwhile, Rep. David Clark, R-Santa Clara, who also is running for majority leader against his fellow Washington Countyite, Urquhart, held a fund-raiser at the Fiddler's Elbow in Salt Lake City recently, even though Clark's seat is safe as well.
Cheers,

But Chris Cannon sure aint no Mormon!!! Even though his district sure is! The most Mormon District in the country! 90%
1. He and his brother Joe aided and abetted Farmers/Zurich/BAT in shutting down a HUGE Discrimination Complaint brought by his fellow Mormons!!! He took HUGE amounts of money for his services; maybe they helped him pay off that 1.7 million dollar campaign loan!!! Judas got a raw deal-only 40 pieces of silver!
2. He took huge amounts of money from the tobacco industry!!! His nickname should be the "Smokin Mormon!"
3. Abramoff wanted to put casinos on Indian lands in Utah! That's why he and Cannon were such good buds!!! Cannon's staff member worked with the guy!! Cannon took thousands more from Abramof supported PACS. We found $8,000 without looking! Plus the $2,000 he gave back to Abramoff and the $2,000 he gave back to his Abramoff buddy!
4. Geesh!! He even got $2,000 from the "Victoria Secrets" PAC. We hope he gets a discount!
Lets see, Traitor, Tobacco, Gambling and Titulating Laungerie!!! Look at all the great things he's done for his fellow Mormons!!!!
