The filing period for the 2026 election cycle is in about 50 days. If you are in Utah and have ever considered running for office, please contact me. We need good candidates to run! In the 2024 election, 40% of the races statewide were uncontested. 😞 #contesteveryrace

Holy cow, Utah, it’s time to move into action! 🐮
Ballots are due by 8pm Tuesday. If you still have yours, don’t drop it in the mail. Take it to a drop box or vote in person instead.
Be utterly responsible and help herd your friends to the polls. It’s our future! 🐄🗳️

Donald Trump and congressional Republicans have shut down the government for weeks now because they refuse to come to the table and negotiate to protect Americans’ healthcare coverage. They need to stop the shutdown and protect our healthcare.

Because of the Republican shutdown, Utah families will stop receiving SNAP benefits on November 1st. This will literally take food off the tables of almost 90,000 Utah families, all because Trump and congressional Republicans won’t come to the table to negotiate.

I really rebel against this idea that politics has to be a place full of ego and where you’re constantly focused on scoring hits against one another. Yes, we need a robust democracy, but you can be strong, and you can be kind. -Jacinda Ardern

The Utah GOP have officially given up on their pathetic last-ditch effort to create chaos and repeal Proposition 4 through an indirect initiative. Read Chair Brian King’s full statement.

For the first time ever, official gov websites are using partisan language to explain a shutdown. That’s not politics—it’s a hostage crisis. 35,000 Utahns are going without pay while our delegation plays games. End the shutdown.

Unlike the Utah GOP, we're encouraging Utahns to participate and share their voices, not coaching them on which map would advantage us. This isn't about fairness or following the law, this is about Republicans admitting they're terrified of competitive districts where voters actually have a choice.

We are grateful to Chair King for offering the closing prayer at today’s vigil. In moments of tragedy, it’s powerful to see people come together across party lines. Violence has no place in our politics, and we remain committed to building a future rooted in respect, peace, and care for one another.

Labor Day is more than BBQs. It is about unions, fairness, and the power of workers standing together. Democrats have always been part of that fight. Join us tonight at the Workers Over Billionaires Rally at the Utah Capitol. ✊
