Speaker of the House Reflects on Legislative Session and Prepares for Campaign

None by Eric Ray

(KCPW News) Following a 45-day legislative session in which Utah lawmakers tackled high profile issues like immigration, health system reform, and teacher compensation, many would expect them to take a breather. However with 2008 being an election year, most public servants hoping for reelection can't afford that luxury.

That certainly goes for Republican Greg Curtis, Speaker of Utah's House of Representatives, who once again faces a challenge from Democrat Jay Seegmiller. Curtis defeated Seegmiller by just 20 votes in 2006 for Salt Lake County's District 49 seat.

KCPW's Eric Ray spoke with Curtis about the challenges of the 2008 session and plans for his re-election campaign.
