Hey everyone....I went and met with Jonathan Johnson (www.hirejj.com) - Republican candidate for Utah Governor and opponent to Governor Herbert -- at his house for about an hour tonight, and I’m suspending my campaign, and endorsing/supporting him for Governor. The reason I am doing this is because my stance on virtually all issues is nearly identical to Jonathan’s. And since his campaign is well funded, entrenched, and better prepared to oppose Herbert, my candidacy is becoming less productive, and I don’t see much benefit in remaining in the race. I sort of knew from the beginning that it would come to this, but I thought things would end at convention and not weeks before. The next few weeks would have been very expensive and time consuming, and I just don’t have the money and time to continue this at the level I need to. I have met privately with Johnson twice now (tonight, and back in December). He’s a good LDS guy, conservative, etc. He has a real chance of going all the way and I think he’ll make an excellent governor. I’m going to vote for him and I hope you will too.
