Evan McMullin weighs bid for Chaffetz's House seat
The Washington Examiner ^ | April 20, 2017 | David M. Drucker

Former presidential candidate Evan McMullin was one of several Utah Republicans who were eyeing a congressional run in 2018 after the surprise retirement announcement of Rep. Jason Chaffetz.

McMullin confirmed in a Thursday morning email to the Washington Examiner that he had been weighing a challenge to either Sen. Orrin Hatch or Chaffetz in the 2018 Republican primary, and indicated that the congressman's decision to retire could make a run for the 3rd district appealing.

Egg McMuffin looking to get elected to anything should be rejected by sane voters anywhere, but it is Utah we are talking about.

I think this guy is closer to pure evil than even John McCain.

Not in our House do we want him!

All I have to say is if the voters in UT select him they are more stupid and ignorant than I would like to think! They are the equivalent to the CA demonrats.

How much will McMuffin be stiffing vendors for this time?

‘Stiffed’: Apparently Evan McMullin still owes vendors almost $670,000 for his failed presidential campaign

Oh, so THAT’S why Chaffetz resigned: so that the CIA’s preferred candidate can get into Congress.

I have friends who are Moromon and life long Republicans.

They keep talking smack about Trump and finally I laughed at them.

“You obviously voted for a member of your church. There is no other reason for your denigration” I retorted.

They actually admitted they had and I responded “WTH for? He is not someone who would have mattered in the Presidential Election”.

“You threw away a vote and almost a state of Electoral College Votes, endangering the country for your religion”.

They sat in silence...

Actually, I wonder at the suddenness, first to not run, then shortly followed up with an immediate departure, that he has some scandal brewing. He reminds me of someone about to be outed and running for the door. What did he do?
