Thousands of Utah Democrats gathered Saturday at Cottonwood High School to choose their candidates for the November ballot.
The Democratic Party state convention was an opportunity for delegates to hear from gubernatorial candidate Brian King, a longtime state representative who recently released a digital advertisement appealing to Utah voters of faith. The delegates also officially chose Caroline Gleich as their U.S. Senate candidate.
Here are the candidates who will move forward from the Democratic convention.
State Rep. Brian King will face Republican gubernatorial candidate in November
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Brian King, a state lawmaker representing Salt Lake City and former state House minority leader , was uncontested at the Democratic state convention, and will face the Republican gubernatorial candidate in November, likely Gov. Spencer Cox. The governor will face an opponent, state Rep. Phil Lyman of Blanding, in the June 25 primary.
In the days leading up to the convention, King released an ad where he called on Utahns not to cast their ballot based on voting tradition.
