Concern over Michael Cook's candidacy initially occurred in January 2024 as the Lieutenant Governor's Office found that Cook had incorrectly filled out the candidate filing form, and that the Utah County Clerk had improperly amended Cook's form after the filing deadline.[8] After the Utah County Republican Party leadership voted to allow Cook to participate in party events despite Cook's filing form indicating he was only going to seek candidacy via signatures, Mike McKell threatened a lawsuit against the Utah County Republican Party and the Utah County Clerk.[9] Cook and the County Party leadership were notified by the Lieutenant Governor's Office would not be placed on the ballot if he were nominated at convention. Cook failed to obtain the necessary signatures to be placed on the ballot, and was also charged with criminal trespass and resisting arrest after attempting to solicit signatures inside a local post office.[10]
