From The Salt Lake Tribune:
While at least three Republicans hungrily eye the U.S. Senate seat held by three-term GOP incumbent Bob Bennett, Utah Democrats have one option on the menu: Sam Granato.
On Monday, in front of one of his three Salt Lake Valley restaurants, the 59-year-old deli-owner announced that he’s up to the challenge.
“I realize that I am not your typical politician,” Granato told a small but avid crowd of supporters. “And frankly, that will be a good thing.”
Touting his 40 years as a small business owner, along with his service on several health care and finance boards — he also is chairman of the state’s liquor commission — Granato said he is well-prepared to represent Utahns in Washington, D.C.
