We’re your local Democrats, and we’re fighting to stop extremism & elect common sense public servants who will get things done for the people of Utah. Join us!
Back in Washington! Before I officially return to Congress on January 3rd, there’s a lot to get done. This week is new member orientation. Getting the office ready, learning the ropes again, meeting the people I’ll be working beside. My promise hasn’t changed since the campaign: I’ll work with anyone who wants to lower costs for Utah families, and I’ll stand up to anyone who makes them higher, including the President.
Senator John Curtis (UT) must vote to convict Pete Hegseth if the House impeaches him this week. Curtis voted to confirm him, despite reservations, and that vote passed 51 to 50. Voting to convict is the bare minimum. Share this so he hears it. @SenJohnCurtis
On Tuesday, Democrats flipped:
At least 43 House seats.
At least 7 Senate seats.
At least 5 governorships.
At least 500 state legislative seats.
With more races still to be called.
This is what happens when you invest in state parties: You can win anywhere.
Neighbors of District 62, thank you for giving me the incredible honor of being your representative.
I do not take this win lightly. My election is a mandate to the legislature to make our democracy stronger and our lives affordable.
The Utah Democratic Party stands squarely against workplace harassment and discrimination. Given the nature of the allegations and the potential for UDP to be required to resolve disputes and conflicting claims, we will not be addressing the specifics of the allegations involving Sen. Riebe at this time.
Voters just sent Trump a clear message: They're tired of high prices, the chaos, and the cruelty. His response? Make Stephen Miller his new Chief of Staff. Nothing says “I hear you, America, and I don't give a damn” quite like that.
What a night, Utah.
A blue wave just swept the Beehive State! We’ll have plenty of time to celebrate even more once every ballot is counted and each race is called. Let’s finish strong, together. 🇺🇸💙
I know a lot of you have spent the last two years angry. Some of you have been scared. I've certainly felt both.
Fear is what they've been selling. Fear of your neighbor. Fear of the family who doesn't look like you or pray like you. Fear that nothing you do matters, so you might as well stay home.
But I want to tell you something about that anger you've been carrying. You don't get angry about something you've given up on. You don’t speak up unless you believe your voice could matter. You don’t protest unless you think someone might listen. You don’t show up unless some part of you still believes this place is worth fighting for.
That anger was hope the whole time. Anger doesn’t exist without hope. And hope is a powerful and effective tool. It looks at the way things are, imagines something better, and acts like it's already on the way.
Last night, we saw what it does when you put it to work. Fear tells you to lock the door and keep your head down. Hope tells you to open it. This district opened the door. And I promise you, I won't let that hope go to waste.
I celebrate the results from yesterday’s election both in Utah and across the country! They are affirming and redemptive. The people have raised their voices in unmistakable ways to reject the policies and leading personalities of Republicans. Good character and commitment to community won in this election. #utpol
JUST IN: Amendment B, which would have changed the law to require a 60% vote on ballot initiatives that increase taxes, has failed, AP reports.
