The questions for the debate will come from myself, students from Utah Valley University, members of the news media and the viewing audience participating on social media and response times to questions are defined but will vary from one to two minutes if needed. Candidates will have the opportunity for a 32nd rebuttal. Prior to the debate tonight, a virtual coin toss determined spencer cox will provided the pe initial response to the first question and will alternate who answers first on the remaining questions. And lets get right to those questions now. This is to both of you and it will go to you, Lieutenant Governor, first. If you are elected, certainly you will affect the history and the direction of the state of utah for at least four years, maybe eight. In the state of utah it isnt unusual to go even beyond that. But lets talk about two terms. What should utah look like under your leadership with your administration in the year 2028, and what specifically do you hope at the end
American people. I hope that changes. The democrats running for president will debate tomorrow night and we will debate pride in proposals from them in here about 32 trilliondollar Healthcare Plan and what they will not tell you is they will take Health Insurance away from 180 million americans who get it to work. We will hear about a proposal to save the planet but they will not tell you that they will raise the cost of gasoline by ten dollars a gallon to pay for what they are proposing.

Not only is it small, but it is pretty remote. It was selected as the state capital because it is in the middle of the state. It is really a two or two and a half hour drive from any other major town. That presents challenges. People have to drive quite a istance.

When dakota territory was created in 1862, the original territorial capital was in yankton, in the far east corner of the territory. The territory was both north and south dakota. As the territory was settled, three distinct territories emerged. There was yankton near sioux falls.
