Prosecutor Nathan Evershed wants to be Salt Lake County’s next district attorney and will challenge his own boss — Sim Gill — to try earn the post.
A deputy district attorney in Salt Lake County for the past 10 years, Evershed announced Tuesday his candidacy for the Republican nomination and a chance to remove Gill from office.
“I’m running because I care,” Evershed says in his video announcement. “I care about my family, and my friends and this community. … The district attorney’s office needs to do a better job protecting them.”
A University of Utah graduate and Salt Lake City native, Evershed says he has earned the trust of his colleagues in the criminal justice system.
