Talkin' Elections
At 6 p.m., I'll join KRCL's RadioACTIVE and host Lara Jones to discuss the 2024 election in Utah.
Then, join me for an Election Night livestream as the polls close in Utah.
I'll break down the results as they come in and what the numbers mean for Utah. I'll also be joined by a special guest or two and answer your questions.
We'll start on the Utah Political Watch YouTube page around 8 pm.
