🚨NEW EPISODE: The '26 Utah legislature overshadowed by last minute changes to prepaid postage for signature removals on initiatives and a bill passing after midnight. Plus, Congressional candidates line up under new maps. @taylordmorgan, @LeahMurray828 👇 https://t.co/4fbuUWW9B4
Utah's new congressional map is on track to upend GOP primary politics in the state, pushing Rep. Owens out & pitting Rep. Moore against Karianne Lisonbee & Rep. Maloy against Phil Lyman.
I spoke to all four:
Moore — the 5th ranking R in the U.S. House — touted his role in securing permanent tax cuts, trying to tackle the deficit & his trump endorsement.
Maloy — on the powerful appropriations cmt — mentioned her Trump endorsement & her track record on issues like water & public lands.
Lyman said he is ready to continue his campaign of highlighting "deficiencies in the system" while arguing for solutions to energy & immigration.
Lisonbee emphasized Moore's previous role w/ Better Boundaries & her background on issues like banning abortion & strengthening gun rights.

PROP 4 REPEAL UPDATE: The @RepealProp4 effort has the numbers to qualify for the ballot and a 578 signature buffer in its closest district of SD 12 represented by Karen Kwan (D). Removals may also be targeting Sen. Reibe's (D) district in Cottonwood Heights. An anti-repeal group held removal events at two locations in her district over the weekend.
Thanks to @MorganandMay for the new removal tracker.
🚨PROP 4 REPEAL UPDATE: The effort to @RepealProp4 has officially met the threshold to qualify, but President @JStuartAdams district is separated by only 87 signatures. The recision effort has until April 22 for removals. It's questionable whether this is a big enough buffer.
🚨NEW: The GOP-backed effort to repeal Prop 4 @RepealProp4 has now hit their statewide signature thresholds and has met 20 of 26 needed Senate districts. They're on track to hit those in the coming days. Rescission efforts have until mid-april. @abc4utah#utpol
