'Super Dell' Schanze Wants To Be Governor Rather Than Mayor
SALT LAKE CITY - His candidacy for Salt Lake County mayor didn't last long. Now, former computer store owner "Super" Dell Schanze is officially running for governor of Utah.
Just last week, Schanze threw his name in the race for Salt Lake County mayor and challenged Democratic incumbent Peter Corroon. On Monday, though, Schanze changed his goal to the governorship.
Monday was the last day for residents to file for candidacy for any public state office up for grabs in this fall's general election. Apparently, Schanze decided to get in while he could -- officially filing as a Libertarian gubernatorial candidate.
Schanze joins a small field of candidates hoping to take up residence at the governor's mansion in January. Democrats Bob Springmeyer and Monty Nafoosi are also running against Republican incumbent Jon Huntsman, Jr.
In 2006, Schanze became a news item after allegedly pulling a gun on a group of angry residents in Draper and flying a motorized paraglider too close to interstate 15 during the morning rush hour.
That same year, Schanze also closed his computer business -- "Totally Awesome Computers" -- but continues to operate a gun range.
