Retraction of Public Safety Endorsements of Gary Anderson

Yesterday my opponent, Gary Anderson, sent out an email that implied he was officially endorsed by the following groups:

Sheriff Jim Tracy
Utah County Sheriff’s office
County Attorney’s office
Utah County White Collar Investigative Unit
Utah County Major Crimes Task Force
Utah County Special Victims Unit
County Attorney Jeff Buhman

However, none of the above groups have, or will, endorse Gary Anderson, so Gary sent out a second email clarifying that none of the above groups have endorsed him. In addition, Sheriff Tracy sent out an email further clarifying that he is not endorsing Gary Anderson.

Below I include three emails, the first is the original email that Gary Anderson sent out Friday morning, the second is the email Gary sent out retracting his initial claim that these groups had endorsed him, and the third email is from Sheriff Tracy clarifying that he is not endorsing Gary Anderson.

I will have no further comment on this matter, except to refer anyone with questions to Gary Anderson, Sheriff Tracy or County Attorney Buhman.
