Today I told Dr. Dunn that I would support a countywide mask mandate. With almost 9,000 cases yesterday, and knowing there are many more who utilized home tests or haven’t tested yet, I have great concern for our healthcare system, our residents, and our economy. (1/)

People often ask me what “RINO” means. The perfect examples of a RINO are those who have an R next to their name, but stand with Russia during these horrific acts. I’m embarrassed that they associate in any way with the Republican Party.

As Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep Paul Gosar speak at this white supremacist, anti-Semitic, pro-Putin event, silence by Republican Party leaders is deafening and enabling.
All Americans should renounce this garbage and reject the Putin wing of the GOP now.

You would think honesty would be a basic expectation for someone to be a candidate for Governor. The Lyman campaign is out of control with their outrageous claims. Next thing we know, they will be saying “the election was stolen” after they lose this race on Tuesday.
Did you know that I am selling Utah to China? That’s the latest allegation from my increasingly desperate opponent. “It’s time to be honest” the email reads. “This is terrifying.” It’s also a complete lie. And my opponent knows it. “Utah deserves a Governor who will stand up to
