SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Former Congressman Jason Chaffetz said he will not be running for governor of the state of Utah — at least not this time around.

He said he won’t be joining the race because he’s enjoying his role as a contributor on Fox News.

Chaffetz also said he wants to focus on re-electing President Donald Trump and other Republicans in 2020. However, he didn’t rule out running for elected office in the future.
