This Utahn has run as an independent, a Republican and on the Constitution Party ticket, losing every time. Now, he’s in the Salt Lake County mayor’s race as a Democrat.

West Jordan u2219 Stone Fonua has run for at least four seats in Utah — once for governor, for the U.S. House of Representatives and as a write-in candidate for Salt Lake County Sheriff, and twice for U.S. Senate, most recently in 2018. He’s campaigned under the Constitution Party, as an independent and as a Republican.

Now, Fonua is running in the Democratic Party for the vacant Salt Lake County mayor’s seat. It’s another bid he likely won’t win, as the county party’s central committee members weigh how best to keep the seat in 2020 and look to fill the position with someone who best reflects their values.
