Back when I was working with the Cub Scouts, we needed to have a local politician come and talk to the kids to complete one of their badges. I reached out to Jim Debakis, who never showed up. One of the den leaders, said her cousin was in the legislature, and she could call him and see if he could make it the following week. Turned out he was a Republican from Bountiful. One thing he said that really struck me, and made me think of you at the time, was: "the Democrats will put up a candidate, but they're not really serious about winning." He honestly thought that, because the local Democratic party doesn't project it. "When was the last time you saw a Utah Democratic party ad on TV? The Radio? Hell, in the newspaper?" That's why he thought that way. His only serious opponent was a primary candidate from his own party running against him.

Good to see your passion.
Covid changed me and I’m pretty much uninvolved now. I’ll give money to local races and fortunately some have won.
My bigger donations go to out of State candidates who have a real chance of winning. Also to the Humane Society and Food Bank. Pray with your feet.
I remember your race and the people you are referring to. They are scum. Power, not change is what they want.
I don’t think we’ve had a good chair since Donald Dunn. 🤷🏻♀️
