Episode 39 of the Salt City Throwdown is here!
Continuing to bring our listeners the best there is to offer in rare, long form interviews of those who are running for office we bring you another episode of "Better Know a Candidate" where you can listen in on a conversation about the campaigns that are occuring in this cycle.
Episode 37 we had incumbent first term Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill. (D) in this episode we bring you his opponent, Dr. Steve Nelson (Yes. He really does have a PhD, we checked.) who similarly to our previous guest Charles Stormont, is running from within his own office. 
Steve, is more than just a an assistant prosecuting attorney. He has had many articles published, he teaches multiple courses at the University of Utah in the Political Science department, and he is also running to take his bosses job. 
We talk about a myriad of issues like 
* Why did he decide to run
* What it was like to be examining a witness in a RICO case when the defendant decides to rush the stand and ends up being shot - in the first trial in the new Salt Lake County courthouse. 
* Differences in how he would run the District Attorney's office. 
* What makes him qualified 
Oh. And the question everyone wants to know. How did he end up becoming the expert on the "Juggalo" gang in Utah?
So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode of "What is a Juggalo" eeerrr "Better know a Candidate: Steve Nelson (Salt Lake County D.A.) Edition. "
