Spencer Cox Begins Campaign,
Will Visit Every Utah City and Town
MORGAN (June 3, 2019) – Today Lt. Governor Spencer Cox published a video announcing he and his wife Abby will visit all 248 Utah cities and towns as part of their campaign for governor.
“Our next governor will have many very important decisions to make and he or she needs to ensure every Utahn has an opportunity to be intimately involved in preparing for our future,” Spencer Cox said. “If elected Governor, Utahns should know that no matter where they live I will represent their interests.”
The trip begins this morning in Morgan, Utah and will continue throughout Summit, Wasatch, Duchesne, Uintah, and Daggett counties. This week alone the Cox for Governor campaign will make 24 campaign stops.
“This won’t be easy. But not only will I be a stronger candidate because of this, it will also further prepare me to be a better governor,” said Spencer.
While most statewide candidates pledge to visit all 29 counties, no candidate for statewide office has ever visited every incorporated city and town during their campaign. In addition to visiting each municipality, Spencer and Abby are committed to doing acts of service during their trip throughout Utah.
“We want to meet as many Utahns as possible as long as we can do it in a way that allows us to be who we are. Being from a city of just 1200 people, I can tell you the best way to strengthen local communities is by serving with one another,” said Abby Cox.
Utahns are encouraged to visit votecox.com/248 where they can suggest service projects for Spencer and Abby to participate in during their tour of all 248 cities and towns.
“Whether you live in a big city or a small town, we want you to join our campaign. We are coming directly to you, and we intend to bring people together by giving back to the state we love and want to continue serving.”
Voters can find out when and where Spencer and Abby will be in their community by visiting votecox.com/248 or by following Cox for Governor on social media @coxforgovernor.

Space Dynamics Lab Names Former Intelligence Agency Director to Guidance Council
SAN ANTONIO, June 3, 2019 -- Utah State University’s Space Dynamics Laboratory announced today that Robert Cardillo has been appointed to its Guidance Council. The announcement was made during the United States Geospatial-Intelligence Foundations’ GEOINT Symposium.
Cardillo is a distinguished leader in the United States Intelligence Community, most recently serving as director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency—the nation's primary source of geospatial intelligence, or GEOINT, for the Department of Defense and the U.S. Intelligence Community. As a Department of Defense combat support agency, the NGA provides GEOINT in support of U.S. national security and defense as well as disaster relief. GEOINT is the exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information that describes, assesses and visually depicts physical features and geographically referenced activities on the Earth. Prior to his role at the NGA, Cardillo served as the Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Intelligence Integration and as the Deputy Director for the Defense Intelligence Agency.
“Robert’s leadership within the government, coupled with his unwavering commitment to the U.S. Intelligence Community, will be a tremendous asset to the Space Dynamics Laboratory as we continue to seek opportunities to support our customers in protecting and defending our country,” said Niel Holt, Director of SDL. “His deep understanding of technology-based intelligence solutions throughout the U.S. government will help us provide agile products and services for the collection and analysis of data for a variety of SDL customers.”
SDL’s guidance council helps guide the organization strategically and tactically, support customer relationships, and provide industry insight and networking. The guidance council serves to compliment the work of over 850 dedicated engineers, technicians, and business professionals who design, build, test, and manage software and hardware including small satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles for data gathering, synthesis, and analysis for all branches of the military and Intelligence Community. This work includes powerful remote and in situ sensors with an emphasis in electro-optical sensing in the near ultraviolet to far infrared wavelengths—as well as cutting-edge cyber tools. The guidance council is made up of government and industry veterans that includes the former Director of the National Reconnaissance Office, former Assistant Secretary of the Air Force, and former astronaut and Deputy Under Secretary of the Air Force.
“Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to interact with the world-class women and men of SDL who are committed to the mission of their customers. Thus, it is a professional privilege and a personal pleasure to have been asked to serve on the SDL Guidance Council,” Cardillo said. “The name Space Dynamics Laboratory has long been synonymous with exceptional engineering and has earned a reputation of providing world-class sensor systems and supporting technologies to better secure our nation.”
With its headquarters in North Logan, Utah, SDL has offices in Albuquerque, NM; Bedford, MA; Dayton, OH; Huntsville, AL; Houston; Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. As one of 14 University Affiliated Research Centers, SDL serves as a trusted agent of the U.S. Government and a strategic Department of Defense research center. Last year, research projects awarded to SDL valued more than $100 million. SDL is growing and is currently hiring more than 60 engineers, technicians, and business professionals to add to its current workforce.
SDL is exhibiting at the 2019 GEOINT Symposium through June 5 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio. Visit one of our experts in booth 865 for more information about SDL.
