Late Comer To Utah Race For House Seat Leads Fundraising

A Utah candidate who was a late entry to the race for a U.S. House of Representatives seat has passed his competitors in campaign fundraising. The Standard-Examiner reported Republican Blake Moore had generated $357,639 in fundraising for his campaign bid as of June 10. Moore did not formally announce his campaign for the 1st District U.S. House seat until Feb. 12. He leads fellow Republicans Bob Stevenson, Katie Witt and Kerry Gibson. Democrats Jamie Cheek and Darren Parry round out the bottom of the fundraising list. Mail-in ballots for the respective party primaries are due June 30.
