Anger is what drove me toward politics. Hope is what has kept me here.
Like you, I see our legislature attack the rights of marginalized and working-class people, while the interests of the rich and powerful are prioritized. I am angry that our legislature singles out and bullies members of the LGBTQ+ community and looks for ways to make the lives of immigrants more difficult. Their bullying only serves to distract from their neglect of all Utahns, especially the disabled, seniors, workers, and families.
While anger can be a good motivator, it is not a good problem solver. A better future requires hope and optimism. I don’t mean closing our eyes and pretending things are good when they clearly are not. I mean playing the hand we have been dealt strategically and powerfully.
District 21 is home to people with grit, heart, brains, and commitment. It is home to people who care about funding education and housing initiatives that allow residents to own where they live. We have deep and diverse convictions and principles that will not allow us to give in or compromise when we fight for all our neighbors.
Together we can harness our anger and make Utah a place where hope becomes reality.
