MARCH POLITICAL MADNESS

It’s almost time for our third-annual “Utah political bracket” contest where we pit the 64 top Utah politicos against each other in our own version of March madness.

Will last year’s winner, Greg Hughes, triumph again, or will another claim the championship belt?

If you would like to be part of our selection committee to set the field of 64, send me an email at [email protected].
