SALT LAKE CITY — Gov. Gary Herbert is holding is his annual fundraiser this week though the Republican says he's not seeking another term as governor after winning re-election last fall.
Herbert's annual governor's gala Friday night comes as state fundraising reports show the governor still has more than $700,000 sitting in his campaign account and two political action committees.
The governor's political adviser, Derek Miller, said in a text message Wednesday that fundraising from the gala will go toward an Honor Flight, with the governor accompanying 40 veterans to Washington, D.C.
Miller, who is also president and CEO of World Trade Center Utah, said the governor will also use the funds to support candidates and causes.
It costs $5,000 to sponsor a table at the event, which raised about $1 million last year.
