Sanders backers don’t fare well at the S.L. County Democratic Convention
Enthusiastic, but not well organized, a slate of Bernie Sanders supporters failed to unseat House incumbents at the Salt Lake County Democratic Convention on Saturday.
And in the county council's at-large race, upstart Kim Bowman nearly received enough delegate support to end the bid of Catherine Kanter, who has the backing of Mayor Ben McAdams and the four Democratic council members. The two will compete in a primary election.
Within Utah's minority party, such contested races are rare, and sent a shock through establishment circles. The contests didn't turn necessarily on issues as much as style, length of service and presidential politics.
