Republicans For Ben

It was a perfect day in the middle of Vine Street.

I've never been happier to see so many Republican office holders get together in my life. Such a large number stood in the middle of Murray endorsing Ben for County Mayor that one had to wonder... Is there anybody left to govern? One errant semi and the entire valley would be left in anarchy.

If ever a moment gave truth to Ben's reputation for building consensus, this was it. Standing shoulder to shoulder in support of Ben were Russ Wall, Mayor of Taylorsville, Tom Dolan, Mayor of Sandy, Dan Snarr, Mayor of Murray, Dirk Timothy, Mayor of Bluffdale, Cherie Wood, Mayor of South Salt Lake, Bill Applegarth, Mayor of Riverton and Carlton Christensen, Salt Lake City Councilman.

Virtually the only odd man out was Mike Winder, who did his best to defeat Mark Crockett in a hard fought primary. And even if Mike Winder wasn't there, many of his supporters were. Imagine this... if only Republican municipal office holders voted in November's election, Ben would win in a landslide.

GO BEN!

Below is a collection of pictures meant to share the joy.
