Andrew Adams and AP reporting Gov. Jon Huntsman finally has some competition to face in his re-election bid.
One candidate is a Republican-turned-Democrat who is currently charged with drug possession. Monty "Millionaire" Nafoosi—"Millionaire" is the official nickname--has a pretrial conference scheduled on Thursday. Bountiful police say they found pot and drug paraphernalia on him the day after New Year's.
The other candidate is Bob Springmeyer. He owns a consulting firm and says he likes the bobsled and skeleton. But he says the only thing crazier than doing that is running against Huntsman.
Democratic Party officials now say they are backing Springmeyer as their preferred candidate.
