There are no polls or oddsmakers for Salt Lake City Council primary elections, but three District 3 candidates have been most visible with only a few days left until Tuesday’s primary.
They include Phil Carroll, who once gave current Council Chairman Stan Penfold a run for his money, and two first-timers who have worked breathlessly to raise funds and rally voters.
An attorney whose firm focuses on family law and civil rights, Wharton’s $29,865 included $750 from Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski — the only Biskupski donation at that juncture in this year’s Council races. He also received $250 from Biskupski’s wife, Betty Iverson.
