While the Salt Lake County Mayoral race has been promoted in Utah as the General Election cycles “must watch,” the race for Attorney General is a bloodbath with first-time candidate Sean Reyes taking the majority of the Super PAC pot shots.
Unfortunately for Mr. Reyes, he is not privy to whose taking those shots due to today’s less than transparent election laws.
Nonetheless, I remain confident that as more Utahns listen to what Sean has to say about improving the Attorney General’s office, learn more about who he really is and what he has done for the community, his peers, colleagues and friends, Reyes will prevail on June 26.
What Swallow should realize is that sometimes good guys do get pissed off. And when they do, watch out!
Please take a minute to listen to Reyes’ response to the negative advertising that Reyes has called on Swallow to denounce. As of today, Swallow’s campaign continues to reject denouncing the downright lies perpetuated in these blatantly awful and untrue ads.

Yes...Sean Reyes—who was honored as the first-ever recipient of the National Young Lawyer of the Year by the ABA; who has actively practiced law in the courtroom for the largest law firm in Utah winning large and small cases at the local, state and Federal level; and who has the highest legal peer review rating achievable—has had enough.
It’s nothing new for Swallow—negative attacks have been his MO since 2002. After racking up multiple FEC violations and numerous headlines reporting Swallow’s admitted negative campaign tactics, I scratch my head and wonder...how does John Swallow sleep at night?!
How can Mr. Swallow mess with someone’s hard earned integrity and work ethic? Does he want to win that bad? Of course, I’m asking too much from Swallow who has issues about owning up to his own personal and professional missteps!
The means to the end do matter—I'll just leave it at that.
If you feel the same as I do, make sure to cast your vote for Sean Reyes on June 26!
