Senate Majority Leader Curt Bramble, R-Provo, met privately for 45 minutes with Buttars on Friday, and the political benefit of his announcing he would not run for re-election reportedly was discussed.
On Monday, Buttars said he was not pressured to announced he wouldn't seek another term. "That offended me because it's not true," he said. Buttars said he has "tremendous support" in his West Jordan district.
"I would like to be thought of as someone who is intensely committed to maintaining the fundamental moral values of the country," he said. "My slogan in all my campaigns has been, 'Defending traditional values."'
