Utah’s Rob Bishop to announce in January if he’ll run for governor

Washington • Rep. Rob Bishop says he’ll announce in January whether he’s going to run for Utah governor – and he’s already mapped out how could win if he makes a bid.

He said he knows what he's intending to do but, “I'm not telling you what I'm going to announce.”

The Republican congressman, who isn’t running for a tenth term in the House, had said he would make his decision in November but pushed it back because there’s no reason to jump in before January.

Bishop would be joining an already crowded field seeking to replace outgoing Gov.
