Sandy • One clear difference emerged Wednesday night in the race for state House District 32 in southern Salt Lake County: the candidates clashing views on the ballot measure to expand Medicaid.
Democrat Suzanne Harrison supports Proposition 3 as a lifesaver for thousands of Utahns. Republican Brad Bonham opposes it as a tax increase.
“It will provide primary care for 150,000 people in this state who don’t current have” insurance coverage, said Harrison. As a medical doctor, she says she sees the need firsthand on a daily basis.
She also said the measure could help strengthen Utah’s economy, potentially generating up to 14,000 new jobs.
