Other candidates for the seat have fully operating websites, including on-the-issues pages.

When it came to his website, John Curtis, the Republican candidate for Utah’s open congressional seat, was inaccessible.

As late as 12:36 p.m. Sept. 11, neither on-the-issues nor contact pages were existent. (On Aug. 27, I first sought out his issues page that political candidates usually have before learning that nothing except the landing page could be accessed, besides links there to donate or volunteer.)

The websites of other candidates for the seat are a different story. Each of the pages from the websites of Kathie Allen and Jim Bennett, the Democratic and United Utah Party challengers, respectively, worked fine.

A campaign staffer said that a “new and improved” website is coming. When asked for a timeline, he provided a campaign email address. (Again, I couldn’t contact Curtis through his website.)

The campaign did not reply.
