Career

ABC4 reports that Rampton works in the Utah County Clerk's office as Digital Services Supervisor in the Marriage License and Passport Office, under incumbent Aaron Davidson. Reporting on his candidacy says he began in the Elections Division about five years ago and earlier spent two decades in higher education teaching and administering courses in organizational leadership and political communication.

The clerk's race

He lost to Davidson at the Republican convention four years earlier. This year he is on the November ballot as a Forward Party candidate against Republican nominee Corey Astill, who beat Davidson in the June primary. Rampton told ABC4 "I have the same concerns about Davidson that Astill has." [1]
