We take a look at the First Congressional District race in Utah. Steve Olsen is a candidate and, although it's commonly believed in Utah that a "good Mormon" is a Republican, Olsen is Mormon and a Democrat. He's approaching the race with religious zeal. We'll hear how he is taking lessons learned from his faith and applying them to the race. Reporter Julie Rose from KCPW in Utah has the story from Plain City, Utah.
Then...
Barbara speaks with Kirk Jowers, a consultant for several Republican campaigns, and gets his reaction to the story about Steve Olsen. They talk about how religion and politics play a role in people's lives in Utah.
