SALT LAKE CITY A group of Utah tech industry veterans announced the launch of a new political action committee on Tuesday, one that will focus on backing Utah legislative candidates that support issues important to the state s burgeoning technology and innovation sector.
Organizers say the new Slopes PAC, which will file taxes and reports under the IRS 527 designation, is aiming to kickstart its work with a campaign to attract 60 individual and corporate donors in its first 60 days.
Utah tech veteran and Slopes PAC CEO Sunny Washington said the committee shares a portion of its name with the Silicon Slopes/Silicon Slopes Commons nonprofit tech sector outreach and advocacy groups, but was formed as a standalone effort.
