Mark Crockett defeats Mike Winder in vote tally, will face Ben McAdams in November for S.L. Co. mayor
"Asking someone after hearing election results if they're going to run again is like asking a woman if she's going to have another child after she gives birth," Winder said. "We'll wait to make any definitive statements until later."
McAdams, who represents Salt Lake City, South Salt Lake and West Valley City in the Utah State Senate, issued a statement Tuesday congratulating Crockett for securing the Republican nomination.
"I look forward to an honest, positive campaign in order to provide residents with a clear vision of the direction I will lead Salt Lake County over the next four years," he said.
Crockett said he believes independent voters will decide the Salt Lake County mayoral race.
"We should have good turnout in both parties this year," he said. "That should mean, if we run a good, credible race, that we come out a few points ahead."

I know this won't jive with the DesNews' position on the race but I have met and interacted with both Mark Crockett and Ben McAdams in several different instances and would in an instant vote for Ben McAdams over Mark Crockett. Ben McAdams More..
It would be helpful for Mr. Crockett to offer some kind of specifics about exactly what it is he wants to do differently as the new mayor of Salt Lake County. So far we're not seeing that.
I wasn't particularly happy about either Winder or Crockett, so I didn't really care.
Crockett was my County Council representative before Jani Iwomoto. Frankly, he was awful! He was more of a "pretty boy" than a More..
