This Week :: The Webb Report

Today's UPD:

The Week Ahead

Welcome to June. Summer is here. This is the time of year when politics is supposed to take a back seat to vacations and picnics. Instead, we have plenty of interesting politics to watch. This month features the state political party organizing conventions, with Republicans meeting on Saturday, June 13, and Democrats a week later, on June 20. For the Republicans, at least, it will be a time for 2010 gubernatorial and U.S. Senate candidates to make a splash. This month we will also likely learn the timeline for the confirmation of Gov. Jon Huntsman as ambassador to China. As soon as Huntsman is confirmed, Gary Herbert will likely announce his lieutenant governor pick, and other prospective candidates will also get serious about the race. Until Huntsman is actually confirmed, not much will happen publicly, although plenty of maneuvering will occur behind the scenes. Check out all the week’s political events at the Utah Policy.com calendar.
