Murray u2219 As Arlyn Bradshaw launched his bid for Salt Lake County mayor on Monday, it seemed only fitting his announcement would take place in a barn at Wheeler Historic Farm.
His father was born down the street from here in Murray, but Bradshaw grew up on a farm in Idaho. He pivoted from potatoes to politics, and this farm, he said, represents not only his own formative experiences but also the best county government has to offer: blending history, open space, family events and educational opportunities.
“I entered politics because I want to serve our community,” he said at the news conference announcing his candidacy.
