Horiuchi jazzed about re-election
Don't be surprised if you see Salt Lake County Councilman Randy Horiuchi sporting a Utah Jazz jersey in the 2008 election. It just might fit his latest campaign slogan.
The Democratic councilman hinted this week that he might stick the faces of sports celebrities such as Larry Miller, Jerry Sloan or former NBA superstar Karl Malone on billboards next year with this catch-phrase endorsement:
"He's got game."
It's not glamorous. But with the November election and basketball season aligning so closely, Horiuchi sees fate. Not only can he appeal to the athletic world, but he also can tout himself as a power player in county politics with a first-string seat on the former commission and the current council.
Then again, Horiuchi said he hasn't decided whether to run again. But he certainly is leaning in that direction, stating that he's "getting closer and closer" to making his candidacy official.
