Team Weston would like to share this message with you, written by Kael and sent to all our volunteers as part of our internal newsletter. Our 140+ volunteers form the energetic outreach center of this campaign—calling, texting, spreading our message days-into-evenings and week-after-week, across a...
Dear Friends and Supporters, Last March, before Utah Democratic Party delegates selected me to be the Democratic nominee in Utah’s 2nd Congressional District, I wrote Chris Stewart a letter regarding COVID. Even though those were early days of the global pandemic, like many of us, I...
Dear Friends and Supporters, Since announcing my run to represent the residents in Utah’s 2nd congressional district, there have been certain days—and paramount issues—that reinforce why I am seeking your support to flip the district.

Dear Friends and Supporters, Last week, campaign Tech Director Tai and I attended three of the four rural town halls that Chris Stewart held, travelling 702 miles in my old truck over two days. Green alfalfa fields blurred into red rock deserts and back again under...

Dear Friends and Supporters, Thank you for your continuing support of our campaign. For those of you who know me well (many of you), you know that I believe in public financing of campaigns. Asking for money is hard. And yet, our elections must not be...
