| Description | A grassroots group of progressives bent on unseating Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, has a new candidate: retired teacher Claudia Wright
Wright accepted the mantle Friday after the candidate chosen by the group last week withdrew unexpectedly.
John Weis, a pathology professor at the University of Utah, said he realized he couldn't campaign across the farflung 2nd Congressional District while keeping up with his job.
"I don't think I had any idea of the magnitude of the commitment it was going to take to mount an effective campaign," Weis said Friday evening. "I came up against the hard reality that I could do two things poorly."
In balloting by the group last weekend, Wright was the runner up to Weis.
She did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment Friday night. |
