Suni Woolstenhulme is a registered Republican who accepted her party’s nomination for county clerk, yet calls herself nonpartisan. Her platform language has shifted to echo what Malena Stevens, the experienced candidate, has been saying. Woolstenhulme has never worked in local government. She didn’t attend the public logic and accuracy tests in Coalville, where the voting machines are checked before each election, and she hasn’t talked with anyone in the Clerk’s Office to learn about the job. Why run as a Republican but ask to be seen as nonpartisan? Voters deserve a straight answer. It’s hard not to see it as a way to put distance between herself and national party leaders who have pushed election denial, excused Jan. 6, championed Project 2025, pardoned people convicted in the Capitol attack, and chosen loyalists over qualified, law-abiding officials to uphold the rule of law and, ultimately, our democracy. That matters because county clerks run our elections. Georgia showed us what’s at stake. In a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call, President Donald Trump pressed Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s Republican secretary of state, to “find” 11,780 votes — one more than Trump’s margin of defeat in the state. Raffensperger refused and stood by the count. Thank you, Brad Raffensperger, for putting voters ahead of party. Summit County is a close-knit community, and we’re at our best when we look past tactics meant to divide us and focus on the record. Don’t be swayed by the attacks on Stevens. Look at who’s ready for the job. Anne Kirvan Park City The post Ready for the job appeared first on Park Record. ...read more read less
