Show Sen. Matheson To Apply For Office Senator Ivan M. Matheson (R-Utah) announced his candidacy for Utah State Senate in District No. 29. The district covers Beaver, GArf ield, Iron, Kane and Washington counties. "Inflation is literally destroying us while at the same time, government regulations at all levels have gotten out of the peoples' hands and into the hands of the bureaucrats who care little to what happens to us as human beings," said Sen. Matheson. "We must make some concrete efforts to resolve these problems at all levels or our entire economy will collapse." Sen. Matheson has acquired 18 years of experience in local and state government and said he is in a better position to see that the people in southern Utah get a fair break on realigning the legislative districts than someone who has no background. He served for two years on the state energy board and on the power siting subcommittee of that board, as representative to the national Nuclear Regulatory Commission, on the Western Conference of The Council of State Legislators Agriculture committee for 4 years and was sponsor of the Sagebrush Rebellion Legislation. |
