Former UHP chief to run for Senate

Bill | 10:27 a.m. Feb. 22, 2008

Ken Peay performed a remarkable job as commander of the UHP and displayed exemplary leadership skills. The citizens of Utah County have a rare opportunity for a brave, courageous, proven leader to transpose his knowledge and skills to a new job of representing them in the Utah Senate. Thank you Commander Peay for your desire and willingness to continue to serve the citizens and state of Utah. I urge the citizens who have the opportunity to vote for him not to miss this rare opportunity to select such a highly qualified, fine candidate for senate.
