@adventurekell Ah got it. My friends used to have a place on the way up there that did teepees.

@thesidetrack I didn’t catch who it was but I think both the governor and the assistant secretary tried to jump in, but then it was just: “We got what we wanted. Let him cook!”

Now: President Trump is signing an executive order (surrounded by Gov. Cox, Speaker Schultz and the congressional delegation) reducing the size of the Grand Staircase and Bears Ears monuments.

Sen. Lee said the monuments are supposed to be the smallest practical size. Pres. Trump is fixing that.

Rep. Maloy says the monuments were created over the opposition of the governor and congressional delegation.

Trump says they took the land away from the people.

[Robert Gehrke @RobertGehrke]

Gov. Cox says this is "right-sizing" these monuments.

Trump says you can't do anything on those monuments. You can't go fishing, you can't go hunting, you can't even walk on it.

(That's not true.)

@KPkelsey To be fair, she played more games. Because they won.

@mjolley22 Doesn’t the third word of the song settle the dispute?

@Joshua_Newman Classic dry heat bias. I moved to DC and 90 degrees with 90% humidity damn near was the end of my life.

@hauserdan @gopTODD Will the candidates you supported vote for GOP priorities more or less frequently than Sen. Flake did?

[Robert Gehrke @RobertGehrke]

My goodness. I’d completely forgotten about this until i was trying to figure out how long I’d been doing this #VoteGehrke schtick.

Guess it’s been quite a while. And, at one point at least, I had a fan.

Bad night for the #VoteGehrke! team.

Learned just before polls closed that someone didn’t file the candidacy papers. Unclear who, but Team Gehrke thinks it was me.

I don’t point fingers. I read this: Campaigns end. Friendships don’t.

Although a few of both ended tonight.

Wild night:

Rep. Trevor Lee has conceded defeat to Bob Stevenson in HD16:

The AP has called the CD2 primary for Rep. Blake Moore. So the incumbents are faring well.

[Robert Gehrke @RobertGehrke]

First numbers up from Davis County and Sen. President Stuart Adams and state Rep. Trevor Lee are both behind.

[Robert Gehrke @RobertGehrke]

This is a bad start to the night for Sen. Dan McCay. Rep. Doug Fiefia is out to a very big lead.
