Looking back at 90 days:
I’ve clarified what I believe, acknowledged where Democrats can improve, had thousands of conversations, ruffled feathers, made friends, and grown a lot. I’m grateful for all of it.

If these posts resonate or make you think, I’d love if you’d like, comment, follow, or share

National (Last 30 Days):
• Politics remained turbulent: healthcare costs, economic strain, and competing visions for the country
• The Trump administration continued defending controversial policies
• Leaders like @briankingutah pressed for a clearer, positive Democratic vision

Statewide updates continued:
• New congressional maps settled in
• Debates over affordability, healthcare, education, and representation stayed front and center
• Even with the shutdown over, rural Utah is still feeling the fallout

Utah (Last 30 Days):
• Working hard with @utahdemocrats and the Utah Democratic Rural Caucus on candidate recruitment — and succeeding
• We’ve matched the last two cycles and may hit the highest % of Dem candidates in years

More personal highlights:
• Dozens reached out privately with thoughtful messages
• Continued daily posts on affordability, accountability, healthcare, public lands, and Democratic values
• Strong turnout at recent Democratic gatherings and continued momentum locally

Personal & Local (Last 30 Days):
• Met with nonprofit leaders about joining their board
• Passed 500,000 FB views in 30 days (including a 50k-view day)
• Had a post quoted by @patbagley
• Sparred again with @sen.johnjohnson
• Helped install new Kanab Trail trail signs

Leadership means standing up for your constituents, not your party. Rural Utah deserves better.

Family policy is economic policy. Utah families deserve better.

We should:
• Make childcare affordable
• Pass paid family leave
• Expand maternity/paternity leave
• Support caregivers
• Raise wages for childcare workers
• Expand early childhood education

Investors buying homes, zoning barriers, luxury-only development, STR pressure, and a huge supply shortage all got us here.

We can fix it: build starter homes, legalize more housing types, support first-time buyers, and protect rural communities.

If you slow down international travel, rural Utah towns feel it immediately.

So why the silence from Utah’s GOP leaders?

Utah deserves leadership that protects our privacy, our economy, and our communities — not leadership that stays quiet to avoid crossing Trump.

This is a massive expansion of government surveillance, and it directly threatens one of Utah’s biggest economic engines: international tourism. Nearly 40% of visitors to Zion and Bryce have come from abroad in past years.

This gives lawmakers more time for another appeal attempt on the maps.
Posting the graphic with all the details.

MLK Day and Juneteenth honor the long struggle for equality. Replacing them with a personal holiday dismisses that history entirely.

If we care about who we are as a nation, we have to care about the days we choose to honor.

#FairMapsUtah #UtahPolitics #HB267

Prop 4 created independent oversight before lawmakers dismantled it.

HB 267 will be repealed after 320,000 Utahns demanded it.

Contact your legislators and Gov. Cox and tell them you support fair maps, independent redistricting, and repeal of HB 267.

It protects partisan advantage.

All 75 Utah House seats and 15 Senate seats are up in 2026, which means accountability is now on the line.

A resolution challenging judicial authority is also planned, despite polling showing almost no public support for giving the Leg. full redistricting control.
