Chris Peterson, the Democratic candidate for Utah governor, says it would be a mistake to view him as a “wild-eyed liberal.”
Sure, the University of Utah law professor believes people who are well-off should contribute more to society than those who are less able. But that’s a lesson he learned from the Bible, which teaches that “to whom more is given, a little bit more needs to be expected,” Peterson said Thursday during a gubernatorial forum with his Republican opponent, Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox.
“I’m not Nancy Pelosi,” he said during the lunchtime event hosted by the Utah Foundation. “I’m just a normal Utah kid that’s trying to make a difference in this world.”
