Stormy Simon, the High Times CEO and former president of Overstock.com Inc OSTK, is running as a Democrat for the Utah House of Representatives District 21 seat.
Simon is challenging Republican incumbent Rep. Douglas Sagers.
"Utah has always been my home. The more I have traveled, the more I feel rooted to Tooele, the county I grew up in," Simon said in a statement to Benzinga.
"Recently, ballot initiatives have been voted for by the people, and the legislature has rolled them back. I love the people, and my community, and feel I can provide them with a fair representation, including standing up for their vote!"
Before stepping into the CEO position at Hightimes Holding Corp. in January, the parent corporation of High Times, Simon served as the president of the e-commerce site Overstock.
