Losing Demo candidate files formal complaint
Judy was defeated at the party's state convention last week by former Utah Attorney General Paul Van Dam. Van Dam avoided a primary run-off by winning 97 percent of the delegate votes cast and will face Republican incumbent Bob Bennett in the general election.
In a complaint made to the party's judiciary committee, Judy alleges he was slighted in the amount of assistance he was given by the party, as well as in comments made by state Democratic Party Chairman Donald Dunn about the viability of his candidacy.
Judy is seeking $30,000 from the party to cover his campaign expenses as well as a primary run-off election with Van Dam "to assure a fair democratic vote."
Dunn said Judy was treated fairly by the party. "I respect the fact that he wanted to run. The delegates had an opportunity to make a decision," the party chairman said. "I think he's feeling bad that he didn't do better."
