The Role And Logic Of Third Parties In Utah On Thursday's Access Utah

The Daily Herald

On a page on their website titled “Fix Our Broken System,” and in answer to the question: Why a third party? The Green Party says that third parties can force progress on political issues; they can provide an “emotional bridge” for voters weary of voting for one major party but not ready to vote for the other; and they can help turn one of the major parties out of power.

On Thursday’s Access Utah, we’ll be joined by representatives from several third parties including the Libertarian Party, the Constitution Party, and the United Utah Party.

Jonathan Choate is County Chairman of the Cache County Libertarian Party.

Richard Davis is Chair of the United Utah Party.

Kevin Paulson is First Vice-Chair of the Constitution Party of Utah.

 

Tom Williams worked as a part-time UPR announcer for a few years and joined Utah Public Radio full-time in 1996. He is a proud graduate of Uintah High School in Vernal and Utah State University (B. A. in Liberal Arts and Master of Business Administration.) He grew up in a family that regularly discussed everything from opera to religion to politics. He is interested in just about everything and loves to engage people in conversation, so you could say he has found the perfect job as host “Access Utah.” He and his wife Becky, live in Logan.
