I went to my caucus meeting last night and I was very surprised by the turnout and enthusiasm.  My house legislative district is District 50, which is primarily compromised of South Jordan.  While, unfortunately, not all precincts within District 50 had members attending, my particular precinct had many attendees.  A South Jordan local, Christian Burridge, will be challenging the infamous Chris Cannon in the third district.  Many members of his neighborhood were at the meeting in support of Burridge’s candidacy.

As always, I was very happy to know that I am not on some political island in my community.  I was happy I attended.

Today I plan on attending my local Democratic Precinct Caucus meeting in South Jordan, UT. It appears as if the Republican in my legislative district, Marilyn Newbold, is running unopposed.  That really makes me mad.  If I had two more years under my belt I could run in my district.  Nevertheless, I will go to my meeting and support the local party.

Every election year I get this very good feeling.  I see a good list of good democratic candidates, and I get the feel goods about election time.  And then again and again the people of Utah go to the polls and re-elect the same jerks that continually ruin the state.  Let’s make the difference this year. If BYU students can vote for Democrats, so can you!
