On the program she came out against all foreign aid, in favor of isolationism and neutrality in foreign policy, for pulling all U.S. troops and equipment back into this country, for getting Social Security out of the hands of the government, and in opposition to any national health care program. She said, jn answer to a question, that the state's 55-mile-per-hour speed limit was absurd, that compulsory school attendance laws should be ended, and that taking from the rich to give to the poor was theft. One person there, a Democrat, said she sounded like a "Populist."

Jeannie Trevathan has entered the race to unseat the incumbent sheriff in Salt Lake County.
