Frank Mylar was charged with one count of bribery in elections in connection with soliciting fellow Republican Trent Christensen’s endorsement in exchange for a job in his office if he were elected.
A detective in Murray, Utah, said in a court filing Tuesday that Christensen told the local police department in May that Mylar had sent him a text message asking for his endorsement ahead of the state’s Republican nominating convention on April 27….
“If you could endorse me before the convention I would definitely include you in my office. Think about it for a few days,” Mylar wrote, according to prosecutors.
