If Jim Bennett is elected to Congress in Utah’s Third District, he plans on concentrating on health care, immigration and public lands.

But he has an uphill battle as neither a Republican nor a Democrat. He's the face of the United Utah Party, and he recently sat down with Bob Evans for 3 Questions.

  3. In a hypothetical situation where impeachment proceedings begin, where would you fall on that issue?
