SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A Web developer has announced his candidacy for a U.S. House seat from Utah.
Randall Hinton last week announced he will challenge Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson in Utah's second district.
Hinton says he is running as the candidate for the Constitutional Party.
In announcing his run for office Hinton criticized Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare and similar programs, calling them unfunded liabilities.
Others who have announced they want to challenge Matheson include Dixie State College instructor Neil Walter and former state lawmaker Morgan Philpot. Both are seeking the Republican nomination.
Matheson won another term in 2008 with 63 percent of the vote.
