Over 30 Utah lawyers sought national or state office in the 2000 election. The most prominent was Utah Senator Orrin Hatch, who was an early candidate for President of the United States. He was unsuccessful in that quest but was re-elected as Utah’s senior Senator. Twelve other Utah lawyers were elected to state or national office, including several new members of Utah’s legislature. Among these, Bar President Elect Scott Daniels was elected as a member of the Utah House. Eighteen other Utah attorneys were unsuccessful candidates in the primary election or general election. We recognize all the Utah lawyer candidates for their dedication and contribution to the political process.
