Letter: Zehnder may indeed have been ‘speechless,’ but he hasn’t been elected

As my papa used to say (not really): “Blessed are those who tweet their own horn, for it must be tweeted.” Surprisingly, this letter is not about Donald Trump. It’s about Brian Zehnder who represents Utah’s Senate District 8, of which I am a resident.

In a March 25 Tribune opinion piece, he pronounces he was “speechless and humbled” to find that the only doctor in the Utah Senate, Brian Shiozawa, resigned, so he decided to run for the vacant seat. He opines he “won” and was “elected” to replace Shiozawa.

Dr. Zehnder, I don’t recall any election.
