So Chaffetz got paid
Schultz bought the land near the project,
Adams got huge donations through MIDA,
Cox's family was getting the fiber cable contract,
Who else is actively screwing over the people of Utah?
Everyday Utahns just forced the Establishment’s hand again.
As your Congressman, I will govern in line with my campaign slogan of “Transparency First.”
The Box Elder data center is an example of transparency last and is emblematic of the problem with Utah’s Establishment.
Governor Cox signed an Executive Order today preaching ‘transparency,’ ‘higher standards,’ and ‘protecting Utah values’ on data centers, only after months of intense public outrage, packed meetings, and grassroots pressure over water theft, skyrocketing power rates, and the destruction of rural communities in Box Elder County.
Left to their own devices? These same insiders tried to green-light the whole thing with backroom deals and zero public input, just like they always do. No EO. No framework. No sudden concern for constituents. The people of Utah had to protest loud enough and long enough to make them pretend they care.
This isn’t leadership. It’s political survival. Real transparency doesn’t wait for the people to storm the gates. It starts on day one; full disclosure of water and energy usage, no secret contracts, actual public hearings that matter, and accountability with consequences if the billion-dollar developers lie.
The Establishment only practices what it preaches when we make them. That’s why Utah needs fighters who demand openness before the outrage, not after.
The people are awake. And we’re not going back to business as usual.
Celste Maloy voted to keep the government’s ‘kill switch’ mandate in our cars alive.
While 160 Republicans stood with freedom and supported Rep. Massie’s amendment to defund this Big Brother technology, Maloy joined 57 other Republicans and 211 Democrats to protect it.
This isn’t about safety, it’s a vote for the surveillance state.
A remote government kill switch in every new car sold after 2026 means unelected bureaucrats can shut down your vehicle whenever they decide. That’s a direct violation of your 4th Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Your car, your data, your freedom, handed over to Washington on a silver platter.
I will NEVER vote to let the federal government install tracking and disabling tech in your private vehicle. Not today. Not ever.
Utah families deserve representatives who fight for liberty, not surrender it one ‘study’ or ‘safety’ excuse at a time.
This is why I’m running: to restore real constitutional representation. No more excuses. No more surveillance creep.
Utah showed up today & sent a message to our corrupt state legislature & to greedy creepy billionaire, Kevin O’Leary:
Utah is not for sale! NO to the Stratos Data Center. Stop with the greedy billionaire power grabs & keep your hands off of our public (& private) lands! #utpol
Meet Utah’s “Biden,” the illegitimate @Spencercox, who is an attorney, and lied about the law in order to keep him and his “preferred” candidates in office. You should see how many people that protected him in the federal court system and the Utah Attorney General’s office during our RICO case. It was like catching flies with fly paper. #RICO
Do not believe @spencerjcox’s lies.
This was our Lake this morning.
We are in an emergency NOW.
You haven’t even broken ground on O’Leary’s data center. And God help us you never will.
We are fighting back—for Utahns now and for those yet to be born.
11 am Sat.

I seriously cannot stand this guy, he expects us to water less so he can make money off these data centers that he wants here in Utah. Why in the hell would you build a data center in a desert? I’m sure this joke of a man won’t go without watering his lawns.
Today, I signed an executive order declaring a statewide drought emergency. This activates Utah’s emergency response plan and helps state agencies coordinate drought response across the state.
All 29 counties are in severe drought, 22 counties are in extreme drought, and water supply forecasts are well below normal.
The good news is that Utah has spent years preparing for dry years by investing in reservoirs, conservation, and planning. Statewide reservoir storage is currently at 70% of capacity, but what we see in our reservoirs today is what we have.
I’m grateful to Utahns who have already cut back, to cities and water districts leading by example, and to our farmers and ranchers who are often the first to have their water supply reduced. Through the Agricultural Water Optimization Program, producers have invested more than $50 million of their own funds to improve water use and help protect Utah’s water resources and food supply.
We have enough water to get through this year if we treat every gallon like the finite resource it is. Please follow Utah’s weekly lawn watering guide, reduce outdoor water use, fix irrigation leaks, and avoid watering pavement.
@GovCox I seriously can’t stand you and wish you would just shut the hell up and go back to Fairview. I’m sure your lawn will be nice and green while you expect the rest of us to sacrifice so you can build your precious data center. How about you just go to hell Cox
Why do I care about a gondola in Little Cottonwood Canyon, a mega data center in Box Elder County, or giving billions to billionaires?
Because alarmingly, all three were decided by elected officials without the input of residents.
Establishment politicians in both parties, backed by a complicit press and counting on preoccupied voters, are bold in their actions and confident YOU will pay the bill.
If it can happen in someone else's neighborhood, it can happen in yours.
Every Utah resident should support CCOA's call for Auditor Cannon to determine if Ben McAdams' Mountain Accord broke Utah's open meetings law. His own attorney admitted they didn't comply. Now taxpayers are on the hook for a $1.4B gondola that Utahns oppose.
Democrats and Republicans both have questions to answer. Auditor Cannon has none of those conflicts. It's time for her independent determination.
"Every Utah citizen who paid taxes that funded Mountain Accord, every citizen whose public lands
and transportation future were shaped by its secret deliberations, and every citizen who will pay
for the gondola has a stake in knowing whether the process was conducted lawfully." -CCOA
