Mayor Peter Corroon to Formally Announce For Governor on Tuesday


Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon will formally announce his plans to run for Governor of the State of Utah on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 at 9:30 AM on the South City Campus of Salt Lake Community College.

The announcement will kick off a two-day statewide tour of Utah during which Mayor Corroon will travel to Ogden, St. George and Provo to discuss with Utahns his vision for Utah’s future.

During Tuesday’s announcement, Mayor Corroon will detail his plans as Governor and highlight how he believes he can help move Utah forward with a smaller, more efficient government focused on educating Utah children, creating jobs by fostering locally owned businesses, bringing new companies to Utah, and making Utah a leader in renewable energy while protecting our unique values and quality of life.

Peter Corroon was elected Salt Lake County Mayor in November 2004, taking on the concerns of over one million constituents, a budget of roughly $750 million, and a county infrastructure of 36 agencies and over seven thousand employees.

His "planning, not politics" policies have made him both a well liked and respected public official. He is a champion of small business, and his economic development efforts continue to improve lives throughout the county.

During his tenure, Mayor Corroon has consistently prioritized quality government through fiscally responsible policies that reflect his goal of an open, honest, and ethical government. He was overwhelming re-elected in 2008, with 66 percent of the vote.

The announcement is open to the public and Mayor Corroon will be on hand following his remarks to answer questions from the media.
