One month ago, on September 10, the country was rocked by the murder of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, the first assassination of a nationally famous political activist since the 1960s. At a time of deep national turmoil, Utah’s Republican Gov. Spencer Cox rose to the occasion by speaking with moral clarity. So I traveled to Utah recently to get a better understanding of Cox for myself and Dispatch members. The governor and I spoke shortly before he took the stage at a Turning Point USA event at Utah State University, where Kirk himself had been scheduled to speak. What I found was one of the most interesting—and misunderstood—politicians left in the GOP. You can read the resulting profile of Cox by clicking here.
