LOGAN – Utah Governor Gary Herbert has endorsed a local politician in his run for the District 5 seat in the Utah House of Representatives, saying that Casey Snider “will be a strong advocate for constituents.”
Snider said he’s appreciative of the governor’s endorsement and that he had a chance to work with him while employed with Congressman Rob Bishop and the late Senator Bob Bennett.
“It’s a little overwhelming,” Snider said. “We’ve been getting a lot of support here locally. When I threw my hat into the ring to start this race I thought we had a good shot and it has just been incredibly humbling to see all the support from all the people in the valley who think I would do a good job.”
Snider said he is pursuing the caucus convention route for his campaign. He said he feels it makes him a better candidate to sit down in the living room or on the front steps with people in his district.
