Spencer J. Cox
Spencer J. Cox is the Governor of Utah, and was running for reelection as Lieutenant Governor with Gary Johnson in the November 2016 Election, Utah.
Spencer Cox has expressed that he does not intend to pursue expanding abortion restrictions outside of the context of existing trigger laws which would take effect were Roe v. Wade overturned.[1]
He has declared that without major changes, he will not be voting for Trump, stating further that "if there were some major changes to Trump, I think there's a way many of us could support him, but he hasn't shown any inclination toward those changes or doing things differently, so I think it's a long shot that he will change". He has expressed that he is considering Gary Johnson, Evan McMullin, or a write-in.[2]
