U.S Congressional District 1 - Candidate Review

With only two weeks to go, it is time to review our candidates and start making some serious decisions.  Many may have already made up your minds and have already voted.  But for those in South Ogden (or elsewhere) that have not, I thought I would run through a little information about the candidates.

For the U.S. Congressional District 1 we have the following candidates:

• Rob Bishop* (R)
• Morgan Bown (D)
• Kirk D. Pearson (C)
• Jared Paul Stratton (L)

Rob Bishop our current Congressman. For those who don't know Congressman Bishop, he is from Davis County, born in Kaysville and is a former educator.  He has served us well as the * incumbent. Website: www.votebishop.com

Morgan Bowen lives in Hyde Park, is an LDS Seminary Teacher and was a CEO for 15 years of major agricultural company.  Brings some good credentials from the business and agricultural community. Love seeing business management on the ballot, however I haven't seen much campaign work from him. Website: www.votebowen.com

Kirk D. Pearson is from Lake Point, Utah and runs a construction company.  He is very committed to bring America back to what our Founding Fathers believed.  I like people who have started their own business from the ground up, kept it out of debt and are making things work.  Website: www.kirk4congress.com

Jared Paul Stratton is a Lab Tech at the University of Utah who appears to have thrown his hat in the ring simply to make a statement.  I mean, someone has to run for the Libertarians.  Website: www.stratton2010.com

I encourage you to comment on the candidates and check out their websites.  I will be endorsing Rob Bishop for another term in Congress.
