This Race Beyond Convention

This race does not end at convention. House District 59 includes all of Wasatch County, Park City proper, and surrounding precincts. This is not a safe seat, especially with no incumbent and it being a potential wave year.

The last time I saw the Democrats this organized and energized was in 2018, when medical marijuana was on the ballot and it was a wave election year. That year, this same district was about 200 votes away from going the other way, and that was with an incumbent on the ballot.

We cannot sit on this race.

The Democrats are going to spend big money to take back this seat. There have already been pledges to spend tens of thousands of dollars on this race alone. The Democratic opponent is also a former elected official in Wasatch County, and they are holding their convention the same day. This is going to be a serious race in November.

That is why I started early. From the day I filed, I have been raising money, meeting with delegates, and working in the community because I know what it is going to take. I have run countywide before and been on the ballot, and I have worked on issues across the Wasatch Back. I have stayed involved beyond campaign season.

I know this community, and I know what it takes to win here.

I’ve been grateful to earn the endorsement of Representative Mike Kohler. Mike has held this seat, and his trust matters as we work to keep this seat red.

We need turnout in Wasatch County and we need to stay competitive in Park City. When I ask for your vote on Saturday, I am also asking for your help and support to win in November.

If I am your nominee, I will fight hard, and with your help we will keep this seat red. I ask you to choose the proven conservative that is known in our community and ready to fight and win this race.

All the best,
