Spencer Cox is Utah's governor and one of the most prominent voices for civility and bipartisanship within the Republican Party. A farmer, lawyer, and former Lt. Governor, he made national headlines during the 2020 campaign when he and his Democratic opponent filmed a bipartisan ad pledging to run a respectful race.
