Sanpete County Convention
By Christian Burridge ~ Candidate for Congress

When we went to the Sanpete County convention, it was like returning home. Marissa and I were married in the Manti Temple. Both of us are alumni of Snow College. It touched our hearts to see so many of our former professors and friends come out to rally as Democrats in a standing-room-only packed courtroom in Manti. My time in Sanpete helped shape my intellect and values which influenced my decision to run for Congress today. I think thriving cultural communities—like the ones in Sanpete—are a treasure in Utah. We need to stand up for the vital rural economies that provide the state with our agricultural needs. A big thanks to County Chair John Hales, Vice Chair Jill Hansen and everybody else for a great time. I was truly reminded that Sanpete County is one of the world’s best kept secrets.
