In response to many friends who have asked me why I support Mike Leavitt's campaign for governor, the simple answer is that he is the candidate who both identifies problems in our state and offers creative and powerful solutions to these problems.
Leavitt has combined a positive vision of Utah's future with his strong personal integrity, as well as thorough preparation obtained through accepting leadership challenges throughout his life, to become the strongest and most qualified candidate for the office of governor.While one of Leavitt's opponents has criticized his broad-based backing, I am encouraged to see he has such a diverse circle of support from the many people who recognize his significant contributions to the state and offer their support to his candidacy.
