Sen. Mike Leeâs Democratic challenger will either be a marriage counselor eager to find common ground with Republicans or a grocery store cashier and transgender woman who is running as a strong progressive. Either way, Lee has a decisive advantage, according to a new Salt Lake Tribune-Hinckley Institute of Politics poll of likely November voters. If the general election were held now, Lee would beat Jonathan Swinton, the marriage counselor, 50 percent to 39 percent.
