Who am I to lead a cultural movement extolling the virtues of building a transcendent political culture in Utah? My career highlights have been drenched in the political blood of contentious culture wars. I cut my professional teeth back in Congress 30 years ago when first assigned to try to expel Barney Frank and, since then, have sliced my way through opponents on issues ranging from same-sex marriage to immigration.
My political sins, if you will, have been on full display for decades. Through the pages of my career’s open book, I have been anything but transcendent – although not for a lack of trying.
