Fred C. Cox, 2024 Candidate for Utah House District 30
"I
believe we must stand up and be heard or watch our constitutionally
protected rights disappear. We can't continue to let government take
over our lives".
That was the reason I ran for office when
my State Representative, Ron Bigelow, stepped down to help the Governor
at the end of 2010, and it is still so today.
I had the
opportunity to serve in the Utah House of Representatives in 2011, 2012,
2015 and 2016. During that time, I had a reputation of being willing to
speak up and to fight for and vote for what I believed was right, no
matter the opposition.
I also had the reputation of reading
though all of the bills I would vote on, and after the 2016 session a
comedy song joked that I might have known other legislators' bills
better than they did. During my service, I had one of the best floor
attendance records of anyone in the House, with the exception of one
rare House Judiciary Standing Committee meeting called during floor time
where I missed 12 votes in 2015. They were the only ones I missed that
year. I wanted to be in the chamber during debates and voting so I could
hear both sides of an issue and see if a bill was ready or needed to be
amended or voted down. "Motion to Amend" was something I said more than
once. I always voted for or against the bill no matter who the sponsor
was or what party they belonged to.
Rep. Judy Weeks Rohner has filed to run for State Senate District 12, and so House District 30 is an "open" seat race.
I am the Convention nominee with the backing of the party. The other Republican candidate gathered signatures besides running through convention. I did not gather signatures. There is a primary this June. Let me know if you need a yard sign.
Please come to one of my Town Hall meetings and help me understand the issues that are important to you.
I ask for your vote.
