Hosts: Maura Carabello and Leah Murray Previewing the state’s Gubernatorial primary race Incumbent Governor Spencer Cox is defending his seat against State Representative Phil Lyman. KSL at Night hosts Maura Carabello and Leah Murray go over some of the hot topics in this race. We also hear new poll numbers showing how close this race has become. Discussing the primary race for the open U.S. Senate seat It’s a full race – 4 candidates all vying for the GOP nomination to replace outgoing Senator Mitt Romney. Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs won at the state convention and faces current Representative John Curtis, former Speaker of the Utah House Brad Wilson, and entrepreneur Jason Walton. The hosts discuss some of the differences between the campaigns. Examining the Attorney General GOP primary race Three top-notch attorneys are in the race to be the Republican Party’s nominee for state Attorney General. Franky Mylar, Rachel Terry, and Derek Brown all claim they’re the best person to fill the role being left vacant by current A.G. Sean Reyes. The KSL at Night hosts look at the relationship between each of the candidates and their individual platforms. Digging into the race for the 3rd Congressional District Another open seat — being vacated by John Curtis — has brought out a slew of candidates. 5 people are asking for your vote: Roosevelt Mayor JR Bird, State Senator Mike Kennedy, State Auditor John “Frugal” Dougall, lawyer and veteran Stewart Peay, and entrepreneur Case Lawrence. The hosts look into how one candidate is choosing to not endorse Donald Trump for president, going against almost all other GOP candidates this election cycle. The safety and security of Utah elections Many people in this primary election voted using a mail-in ballot. And many people will choose to vote in person tomorrow. With the election on the top of everyone’s mind, we wanted to know: how safe and secure are Utah’s elections? State Director of Elections Ryan Cowley joins the program to share some ballot return numbers and walks our listeners through the protocol to secure our elections. Taking a look at the 2nd Congressional District race 2nd Congressional District Representative Celeste Maloy has only been in her seat for a few months — following a special election — and now she’s fighting to retain her seat. Colby Jenkins believes Rep. Maloy has flip-flopped and is betraying Utah values. Rep. Maloy believes she’s doing what needs to be done to advance the issues important to Utah. How’s the race in the 1st Congressional District shaping up? Newcomer and blue collar worker Paul Miller is going up against incumbent Representative Blake Moore for the GOP nomination in Utah’s 1st Congressional District. Each candidate has been largely outspoken on abortion, so we discuss their individual stances — this, on the second anniversary of the Dobbs decision. Political losers: how are candidates reacting if they lose their election? Following several recent races — for Republicans and Democrats — the losing candidate has openly questioned whether the race they lost was rigged or fraudulent. What do these claims do to the future of our elections, and the future of democracy as a whole? KSL at Night hosts Leah Murray and Maura Carabello finish the show offering their insights ahead of tomorrow’s election.
