@sltrib I have gay family members that have a lifestyle of cooking amazing meals, spending time with family, working hard, and video games. So wicked indeed..
HB 259, my legislation prohibiting the use of one box for straight ticket voting, just passed the Senate committee unanimously. Thank you to my main House co-sponsor, @hcraighall and my Senate Floor Sponsor. @curtbramble
Straight party voting prohibition PASSED the House. Thank you for calling your reps. Here’s a breakdown on how they voted. Now onto the senate! #utpol#utleg
Contact your House rep and tell them to vote YES on H.B. 259 Straight Party Voting Prohibition. This will give the people better representation, fight against partisanship, and increase voter knowledge of candidates. Find your rep here: https://t.co/ERqA7TVoHk #utpol#utleg
@wendamus @betterutah A better solution might be splitting up the session throughout the year in 1 or 2 week stretches. Allowing issues to be debated as they come up, & opens the door for more people to run who could afford to get work off for that amount of time instead of 45 days straight.
Utah officials pressed the Trump administration to approve a limited expansion of Medicaid days after voters last November supported a ballot measure calling for a broader expansion under Obamacare https://t.co/EFDT8OEFBH
By a 6-5 vote, HB 259 on straight party voting passes committee! The farthest it has ever been. We are one step closer to better representation #utleg#utpol#utah
@_Nixo Didn’t they say the money couldn’t be touched because it could only go to education? That was the response to funds not being allowed to go to Medicaid expansion.
This important bill is coming up in committee today. Contact these legislators and urge them to vote yes so we can have a more representative government. #utpol#utleg#utah#representation

It’s all about the money, money, money. Once again the legislature proves that money will always be more important than listening to their constituents. https://t.co/zO0yNDBs5V #utpol#utleg#utah#prop3#beerlaws#voting
Here’s the email response @GovHerbert office is giving to people against SB96. Claiming it covers the same people as prop 3 and to “set aside differences”. Please 🙄. #utpol#utleg#prop3@BjaminWood@BenWinslow
