County Councilman Arlyn Bradshaw throws his name into the mix for county mayor

Murray u2219 As Arlyn Bradshaw launched his bid for Salt Lake County mayor on Monday, it seemed only fitting his announcement would take place in a barn at Wheeler Historic Farm.

His father was born down the street from here in Murray, but Bradshaw grew up on a farm in Idaho. He pivoted from potatoes to politics, and this farm, he said, represents not only his own formative experiences but also the best county government has to offer: blending history, open space, family events and educational opportunities.

“I entered politics because I want to serve our community,” he said at the news conference announcing his candidacy.
