I learned bipartisanship as minority party in state Senate
He's gone so far hard right in order to win this election that he's lost that collaborative spirit, Howell said of Hatch's one-time work with liberals such as the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. Howell added that as the former
Democratic leader in the state Senate, he learned how to work with Republicans out of necessity to pass legislation.Serving in the Utah Legislature is "quite different than being in Congress, by the way, especially in our Legislature,"
Hatch said, adding that, if elected, Howell would be "surrounded by people" in the Democratic Party "who won't let you be anything but liberal."
At one point, Hatch pointed to his introduction of the DREAM Act--to allow undocumented immigrants brought as young children by their parents to America to attend college and work toward citizenship--as an example of how he cares about Latinos.

For a decade (1991-2001), Scott served as a Utah State Senator--eight years as the Senate Minority Leader--and in doing so established a reputation for being an effective voice in government. Scott Howell has the type of experience and perspective that
both Utah and Washington so desperately need; he knows what it takes to increase efficiencies and find solutions that satisfy both sides for the best possible outcomes.
