Standard-Examiner: Dee (Smith): Attorney General Campaign Won't Hurt Current Job

With a little luck, Smith will find some time to campaign between press conferences

It's official, folks. As the Standard-Examiner predicted last week, Weber County Attorney Dee Smith has now filed as a candidate for the Utah Attorney General's Office:

• Dee (Smith): Attorney general campaign won't hurt current job

With a little luck, Smith sez he'll find the time to campaign between press conferences.

In an interesting wrinkle to this story, the Standard also reports that Smith's candidate filing has apparently prompted Libertarian Andrew McCullough to throw his hat into the ring with his own Utah Attorney General candidacy.

“We’re against the death penalty, and he's a death penalty guy,” McCullough said. “So I had to file.”

Great to hear that Utah death penalty opponents will have this most excellent option, we believe.
