“I ask for accountability,” said the Republican hopeful for the 1st District seat, now held by Rep. Blake Moore, also a GOPer. “It prompted me to want to run, to go back to service for our country.”

This is Badger’s first bid for public office and the campaign is his full-time gig for now. Five GOPers in all are seeking the seat, including Badger and Moore, along with one Democrat.

Badger — who describes himself as a “strong conservative” — most recently worked as a risk manager for a management consulting firm. Before that, he worked as an intelligence officer for the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, which gathers military intelligence, serving stints in Germany and Afghanistan.

My name is Raelene Blocker, and I am running for Utah House District 4, formerly 53. I am a proud wife, mother, and Utahn who has lived in our community for over 11 years.

I grew up on a small farm in rural Utah. My father passed away when I was 13, leaving my mother a widow of 10 children. We didn’t have much, and we lived off what we grew and the animals we raised. I remember waking up at 5am to milk the cow before catching the school bus. I would often get extra sleep on my forty-minute bus ride to school. Hard work was essential to our survival. Despite my hardships, I was determined to work hard in school. I knew I needed a scholarship to pay for college. I graduated from BYU with a degree in international relations, Served a mission to Spain for my church, and raised a family while my husband, completed eight years of medical school and residency. Three years ago, I graduated with a Masters of Legal Studies from SJ Quinney College of Law. I also completed mediation training with  Utah Dispute Resolution.

Justin O’Mealy ustin O'Mealy I am from Reno, NV and have lived here in Rich County for over two years now. I have five children all in school and a wonderful wife. We love living and raising our family here and hope to stay for a long time.

I work in dispatch right now for the Rich County Sheriff's Office. I enjoy working there and with the Clerk's office just upstairs from the jail. I saw the opportunity to grow and work with my community at the County Clerk and would love to do that here. I like to participate in the community with things like refereeing my sons' sports games for the middle and coaching little league sports. Being able to help and support those in need is a large reason for this too.
