As Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox has been touring the state for his gubernatorial campaign, his wife, Abby, has been noticing a trend: The people who show up and ask questions at town halls tend to be male.
It’s a problem that goes beyond the campaign and extends to state politics in general, she believes.
"We are missing critical input," Abby Cox said during a Tuesday campaign event. "We are missing women's stories."
The couple gathered outside the state Capitol with dozens of supporters to announce the formation of “Women for Utah,” a group dedicated to putting Cox in the governor’s mansion.
