Utah Gov. Spencer Cox is looking to turn down the political heat as head of National Governors Association
On Friday, he was named chair of the National Governors Association, with Democratic Colorado Governor Jared Polis as the vice-chair.
Gov. Cox acknowledged a lot of the incendiary rhetoric comes from a national level, but he hopes his fellow governors can help turn the temperature down a bit and reduce political polarization headed into the next election cycle. "It’s not about getting people to change their minds or necessarily come to agreement but reducing stereotype thinking, it’s clarifying where the disagreements are, and it’s ultimately building trust," said Braver Angels' Ciaran O'Connor.
