Salt Lake City, UT - We celebrate today's Third District Court ruling that the legislature's gerrymandered congressional maps violate Proposition 4.
This is what democracy looks like - voters passed Prop 4, and the court enforced the law.
Utah is now on the frontlines of a national fight for fair maps. While other states gerrymander to lock in partisan advantage, Utah voters chose a different path with Prop 4.
The people spoke. The court agreed. Fair maps are coming.
We stand ready to ensure all Salt Lake County residents get the representation they deserve.
Voters won, Utahns will be getting fair maps for the 2026 election #utpol

Thank you! I'm excited to share that I've accepted the role of Executive Director of the Utah Democratic Party, starting in September! Our Party is steady, united, and charging toward Election Day. I'll continue serving as County Chair through the November election to keep our momentum strong and to support our candidates and our team. After Election Day, we'll hold a special election for the next County Chair, and I know we have incredible leaders ready to step up. This is a moment of growth for Democrats locally and statewide and together, we're going to make this election year a success and build an even stronger Democratic Party for the future. Chair Jade Velazquez
Weβre thrilled to share that SLCo Dems Chair Jade Velazquez has been named the next Executive Director of the Utah Democratic Party!
Jade will continue serving as Chair through November to keep our momentum strong. This is a moment of growth for Democrats, both locally and statewide. #utpol

Salt Lake County Democratic Party, ADAMS MUST GO: SLCO Democratic Chair Demands Resignation Over Child Rape Case Interference
Salt Lake City, UT - Salt Lake County Democratic Party Chair Jade Velazquez released the following statement following reporting in the Salt Lake Tribune that Senate President Stuart Adams used his position of power to influence a criminal case where his relative was accused of child rape.
"Stuart Adams has shattered the public trust, when a top elected official rewrites child rape laws to shield his own family from justice, he has crossed a line that cannot be uncrossed. Utah families deserve leaders who fight FOR victims, not against them. Adams has proven he cannot be trusted with that responsibility.
He must resign. Today."
Can you imagine if a Democrat did this? Republicans would be calling for immediate resignation. Utah deserves leaders who protect children, not family members accused of harming them. #utpol

Salt Lake County Democratic Party Breaking News: Utah's court of appeals ruled that Cottonwood Heights could seek to revive charges it filed against a then-city councilwoman following a 2020 protest. - KSL News. Swipe to learn more
Salt Lake County Democratic Party What Happened? Original Charge from 2020: Tali Bruce was accused of interfering with an officer during chaotic protest where police used stun guns & pepper spray. Bruce's account: says officer hit her in neck and shoved her (captured on video she filmed) In September 2023: Justice Court Judge Brendan McCullagh dismissed the case calling Police Chief Russo's actions "Unconscionable" for withholding officer disciplinary records from the court - claiming there were "none" when records existed.
Salt Lake County Democratic Party
Bottom Line: 5 years after the protest, Cottonwood Heights can now continue prosecuting Bruce thanks to appellate court ruling. This is just one of many reasons why local elections matter. Don't let city officials get away with this, get out and vote.
Breaking News: See our full statement below.
