Provo mayoral candidate list now at four
PROVO — One more candidate added his name to the list for Provo mayor Wednesday, the first day candidates could file for the November municipal election.
Andrew P. Thompson joined Don Allphin, Rep. Steve Clark, R-Provo; and John Curtis in the race for the mayoral post.
