(KSL News) -- Utah Democratic Candidates today accused Republicans of bringing in big money from out of state in order to run campaigns distorting voting records in legislative races.
The candidates say parties from outside the state have given large amounts of money to Republican candidates in hopes of pushing their agendas after the election.
Wayne Holland, Utah State Democratic Party Chair: "Trying to spend Utah taxpayer dollars to privatize Utah's education system. It's a dirty, sleazy campaign they are running against many of the finest individuals in the state."
Jeff Hartley of the Utah Republican Party said the Democrats are upset because they "don't want to be held accountable for their voting records" but that the "voters have a right to know."
