Utah Physician Says She’ll Happily Do The Job Jason Chaffetz Won’t
“Medical help is on the way” for Utah’s 3rd Congressional District, Democratic hopeful Kathryn Allen said.

WASHINGTON — Utah family physician Kathryn Allen hoped to deliver Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) a dose of “strong medicine” (read: a loss) in the 2018 election. Now she won’t have to.
On Wednesday, the controversial chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said he would not seek re-election in 2018. In the wake of the announcement, the Democratic hopeful took to social media to assure residents of the Beehive State she is prepared to do the job Chaffetz will not.
Chaffetz bowing out adds uncertainty to the future of Utah’s strongly Republican 3rd Congressional District. For Allen, who has described Chaffetz as a “terrible excuse for a public servant,” the mission remains the same: restore integrity and responsibility to government.
“That is what we have run on all along and will continue to run on,” she told The Huffington Post on Wednesday. “Our message remains one of consensus and coalition building, of coming together for a common purpose to oppose what (President Donald Trump) stands for.”
