The primary election for Republican candidates in Utah's 3rd Congressional seat is on Tuesday. If it was today, would you vote for incumbent Chris Cannon or challenger Jason Chaffetz? Why?

"Not yet. I just need to research it a little bit more."

-- Pam Petty

"I actually don't know much about the different sides and points of view. Chris Cannon, I haven't heard much bad about him. I feel I should be more involved in politics so that I can have a stance. I think a lot of people are like that too."

-- Kevin Pyne

"I don't know if I'll be voting. It depends on the baby-sitting situation. I recognize the name of the first [candidate]."

-- Wendy West

"Chris Cannon. I've had an opportunity to personally work with him on some issues in D.C. He's been very responsive to my organization and has done a lot of good."

-- Sydne Jacques

"Probably not. Just general apathy."

-- James Barlow

"I want to vote but I have to look into everything to be prepared. I want to. I knew Chris Cannon was running. I've been paying a lot of attention to the presidential election."

-- Jacque Stopa

"Probably Cannon. Because of his views on the people coming across the border illegally. If they want to come, fine, but come to it right."

-- Mae Nielsen

"No. I've sort of been watching the newspapers. Chaffetz just about had enough votes [at the convention] to win. I don't know either one, but I know Cannon has been in office about six times. I don't believe in professional politicians. Once maybe isn't enough, they need to get a feel for things. I think I'd go for the almost-winner Chaffetz. There needs to be new blood, ideas and energy. The same-old, same-old is just old."

-- Leo Hall

"I'm a Constitution Party member so I won't be voting. I sort of like Cannon but he seems to side with big business and [the status quo]. Chaffetz, I don't know that much about."

-- Matthew Pinkston

"I haven't thought about it quite yet. But it's coming up though. Yes, I typically vote. I haven't really looked into the candidates yet."

-- Lyndee Anderson
