Congratulations, Jason!
Filed Under Uncategorized
On a great win in the face of tremendous odds.
Chris Cannon seemed to have everything going for him: endorsements of most of Utah’s Republican leadership, name recognition, a bigger budget, experience from previous campaigns, PAC money from outside Utah, all that and yet volunteerism and a great grass roots effort were able to unseat him in a near landslide.
Everyone thought that the 59%-41% vote at the State convention was a fluke, but here it is again repeated in the Republican primary. Obviously Jason has something to say that resonates with voters. Too bad Chris Cannon was more interested in listening to outside voices.

Greetings from a fellow Chaffetz supporter. Did you see the video presentations that layed out how Cannon and Matheson were basically clones in how they acted once they got back to Washington?
Check it out at http://www.ourcaucus.com
The videos are pretty amazing. I’m hoping a lot more people find out about them because I think they’d help take Matheson down next.
