The Deseret News — and most opinions published here — do not accurately portray my experience as a first-time state delegate to the Republican convention. Most of the people in my precinct that I spoke to did not want Sen. Bob Bennett re-elected. I was not interested in "getting Sen. Bennett out." I don't think we get a good representative if we focus on what we don't want. I voted for the candidate I felt would best serve Utah's interests. I actually approved of most of Sen. Bennett's voting record and appreciated his service. But I felt that Utah would be best served by a new senator who would work to change the system, rather than merely use it.
