Their silence is damning.

We the people must stand up.
We must speak up.
We the people must hold the line.

Four stacks of stickers on a white patterned table cloth. Stickers say Stop the Power Grab, Fair Maps, Better Boundaries, and Stop the Power Grab.

Global leadership — not retreat, isolationism, nativism & defeatism

A U.S. that stands by our allies, not abandon them

And a lot more … like congressional maps in Utah that aren’t unconstitutional power grabs:

We Dems deliver for our neighbors, no matter their politics:

Social Security
Medicare
Medicaid
Clean air & water
Good jobs

A belief that politics need not be cruel — nor policies inhumane

Due process

This is a billboard near Salina on I-70, paid for by Sevier County Dems, and still there — seen by thousands daily as they traverse rural Utah:

The Democratic Party is the oldest continuous political party in the world — and for many damn good reasons.

SINCE 1828

We ain’t disappearing.
We ain’t giving up.
We persevere.

Thank you Ben Peck — a real democratic field marshal.

We need you to continue to be a central — and formal — part of our UDP efforts in Utah.

Congratulations.

Chair Brian King & team are a good one.

Thank you to all candidates who gave Democrats a real choice @ historic Ogden High last Saturday, the hometown of former — and future — Rep. Rosemary Lesser.

Finally: I’m committed to ensuring that the Utah Democratic Party is a truly statewide party.

Resources
Attention
Perseverance

And that no county is too distant — or too “red” — to have real choices up & down Election Day ballots.

Every election.

If voted into this party leadership role, I intend, with the help of many others, to make sure that Utah Republicans — friends & cousins & neighbors among them — realize that new sheriffs & political posses are back in town. (Start sweating BasedMikeLee)

Throughout my 2020 run in CD2 — 14 of Utah’s 29 counties — and since my abbreviated US Senate race in 2022, I have spent half my time in our state’s rural counties —

My rural roots in Utah on both sides of my family run very deep — across six generations — Milford, Minersville, Beaver, Mantua, Moroni, Panguitch, Escalante … & beyond and in between.
