Political Contributors Often Want Political Favors

I do not like it that the people who finance our political campaigns are very often the ones wanting political favors once the candidates are elected. Could we put an end to this? Maybe, but not without you, the voter.

I'm running for the legislature the hard way, having vowed to take no monetary political contributions.

That, please note, means no special interest money.

I would hope my stand on special-interest money, alone, might win your vote. But, I will be quick to state my view on other issues, selecting a news story a day, and matching it with an opinion on an issue, posting them on this blog site. While the stories and posts are usually on national issues, you still will be getting a feel for me as a candidate.

Know someone who lives in House District 41? If you want to support my campaign, please share a post with them, or suggest they become my Facebook friend so they can be notified when I post blogs.

District 41 has the Midvale city limits and 8680 North as its northern border, and lies between 1-15 on the west and 700 East on the east. That part of the district stretches down to 11400 South (excluding a little box in the southeast corner).

It also includes the area between the Jordan River on the west and I-15 on the east, between 10600 South and 12300 South.

And, the district takes in the area south of 12300 South between 300 East and about 1300 West, with that part of the district going south to 13800.

And, it includes the area south of Bangerter Highway between I-15 and 4800 West, going to the county line.

I'm running against Todd Kiser.

-- John Jackson, candidate for Utah House District 41.
