So sorry. I do feel your pain. As a legislator, parent and educator it is overwhelming. Top down policies do not help. Our schools need to be peaceful places again not stressed.
Why are we opening schools but still having school board meetings on line?
Is it too dangerous to gather adults in a room with masks?
Can the leaders model the behavior our students and teachers are supposed to implement?
If you can’t meet maybe we shouldn’t.
Miscarriages aren’t abortions
IVF treatments aren’t abortions
Contraceptives aren’t abortions
There’s no circumstance in which these are illegal because of Dobbs
This campaign was an honor. Working people need to run for office to keep our democracy strong and representative of America.
I am humbled and so grateful for the thousands of donors and supporters that dedicated their time and resources to our vision and restoring balance.
Republican Celeste Maloy would vote for a national abortion ban, while Democrat Kathleen Riebe has proposed laws to limit the impact of bans.
With abortion access winning big across the country, will their views affect Utahns' votes?
Thanks for the endorsement, Todd!
I’m running for Congress on my record - boosting teacher salaries, fighting for healthcare access and affordability, and defending Social Security and Medicare.
If that sounds like something you’re into too, chip in:

The conversation with
@SenMikeLee
, when he met with the Utah Sen Dems, was increasing dialogue and decreasing inflammatory actions. His actions speak differently.
I specifically asked him to stop the pendulum from swinging violently.
No regard for Utah only personal agenda.
All our schools are opening. Our hospitals are full and staff are exhausted. K-6 don’t have the ability to get vaccinated.

It’s my birthday today, and I’ve celebrated the last 30+ in Utah, since my early twenties. Last year at this time I was battling a broken neck - this year I spent it teaching and walking my dog. Make time to spend with your loved ones - feeling lucky I’m able to for another year.
So…
If the “scholarship” ( aka voucher ) for students with IEPs and 504s would provide more money ( way more than the WPU) for kids to go to private schools
We could give that same amount to public schools. And IEP/504 students could succeed anywhere.
I’m running to represent the voices of Utahns on both sides of the aisle who want a fair cost of living, federal💰for affordable homes, and a safe Utah for their kids.
I’ll be surprised if the state GOP can stop the infighting and talk about issues and solutions by this fall.
When the👉

I ran amendments and spoke against these far reaching bills.
The Cache County School District announced shortened school days to combat an “unprecedented” increase in student and staff absenteeism brought on by a surge in COVID-19 cases.
I’m sad to see Sen. Romney’s decision - I’ve appreciated his visits to our caucus and commitment to consensus solutions. And I agree, there’s more we can be doing for our climate!
Unfortunately, this will accelerate the UTGOP’s sprint towards the far right and extremism.
Tonight showed us Democrats are not extinct in Red States!
On stage, I just reiterated my support for a woman’s right to privacy and healthcare. Americans across the country do, too.
My election is next up to send a message!

You should sit this one out.
Bankruptcies and a non profit that seems to only profit you is not a good legacy.
Q: Who do you think pays for your bankruptcy?
A: Hardworking families with & with out student debt.
I’m Kathleen Riebe, and I’m running for Congress.
I promise to get solutions for Utah, not engage in partisan battles. My campaign is funded by Utahns, not corporate PACs and lobbyists.
And I’m asking for your vote.

I’m honored to be the Democratic nominee for CD2. Thank you to the delegates for their care and involvement in our party.
It’s time to hit the ground running for the people of the district, and all Utahns looking for a change in our Washington delegation.
#BREAKING
: There are some serious talks happening on Utah's Capitol Hill about a special session over the Utah Supreme Court ruling on voter-led ballot measures. They center around whether to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot in November.
Our conversation should be about GUNS in school.
Not CRT, SEL or social studies. GUNS! Are a problem.

As you may have heard, I’m the only elected official or legislator in the CD2 race. A more important qualification isn’t as a politician, though—it’s as a public school teacher and mom. Utah’s working families & children need a voice in Congress.
CD2 Delegates—see you at 6 PM!
Like the Republican presidential candidates debating right now, Celeste Maloy believes cutting Social Security is the answer.
These aren’t “entitlements.” They are hard-earned benefits that all hardworking Americans deserve.
#UT02
This campaign has been the honor of a lifetime. I’m so proud to have visited and talked with voters in every county in the district, about the issues that matter to you: affordable housing, healthcare, and a sustainable future.
When Republicans talk about drastically reducing government employees, they’re advocating for eliminating the jobs of tens of thousands of hardworking public servants. I stand with public employees in Utah and across the country.
Utahns have told us repeatedly what they want, it’s our job to listen:
Robust healthcare
Education funded
Medical marijuana
No “ tax reform”
The “9 figure surplus” should be used facilitate these goals.
🚨🚨🚨
ICYMI, I released my latest ad of the election today, and I think it’s an extraordinarily important message.
Chip in now to keep it up! Our movement is powered by grassroots Utah donors, not the Koch brothers and corporate PACs.
Sen. Kathleen Riebe believed the special session was called under “false pretenses” that further erodes trust with Utahns.
“Right now, we are experiencing an unprecedented high level of mistrust in politics, and I don't believe that this is helping.”
With my removal from Gov Ops. the committee seems to follow a trend.
My constituents voted to have representation. Their local elected representative now has a further diminished voice.
Vouchers, local control, education “ transparency” and journalistic freedom all up for grabs.
Civics and civility need to be returned to the people’s house.
@TiffanyBond
@DevinCow
Run for office! “Real people” should take back our government. I have enjoyed being a local Senator and I have not been treated badly. I have met wonderful “statespeople” across the aisle who care about their constituents.
There’s a clear choice: Celeste Maloy would shut down the government if she doesn’t get the spending cuts she wants. We don’t need more chaos in DC after months of this dysfunctional circus.

Happy Labor Day, Utah! I am a proud union member, and I come from a proud union family.
My opponents in this race refuse to stand up for working families and our freedom. I will support Labor in Congress with every opportunity, from the PRO Act to standing with Utah’s unions.

I was just asked on stage about Democracy as a principle of my campaign.
Utah has always had a close relationship with democratic principles and freedoms at the ballot box.
While Republicans try to tear down our systems, it’s imperative that we protect our democracy.
Celeste Maloy would cut Social Security and Medicare - and just reminded Utah voters.
I will defend the public, earned benefits that Utahns and Americans have spent their lives working for.

You are out of touch and a detriment to education.
90 % of parents choose neighborhood schools, solidifying why we should support them.
Charters have less transparency with funding and curriculum. This is a fact illustrated by audits and charters school closing history.
With school choice, parents who want adult strangers to co-parent and sexually groom their children can choose to stay in WOKE activist schools. Everyone else can send their children to schools that educate instead of indoctrinate
My kids go to neighborhood schools, when I explained how much “the voucher” was worth they asked why are those kids worth TWICE as much as them?
@CandicePierucci
why are those kids worth more?
Let’s make greed gross again.
Our families need leaders who support families. Utah state policies will not trickle down. Utah tax breaks do not support middle income families. Support candidates who support our families’ who go to public schools.
Vote for your families!
Utahns aren’t looking for more radical culture wars or political games, they want leaders who will address the issues that matter to them.
In Congress, I will put freedom first every single day.
I am proud of the F I receive from the NRA on days like today.
Owning guns for protection and hunting are okay.
Assault rifles and mass shootings are not.
It’s election day!
Every vote counts, so if you haven’t returned your ballot yet, get it to a drop box before 8 pm and make sure your voice is heard in this important election.

Democrats have been doing unusually well in special elections so far this year, and if that pattern continues on Tuesday, Republicans could get a bit of a scare.
After a day at my schools I filed for re-election.

Ballots are out, Utah! I’ll be pushing strong till Election Day on Nov 21.
Remind family and friends to vote…the scariest thing this Halloween is the prospect of sending another extreme Republican to Congress who will cut Social Security and ban all abortions nationwide.
My son just finished reading, “The Jungle” by Upton Sinclair. We were discussing parallels to today’s world.
Capitalism, exploitation, traditions, regulations and family....
I think of that book constantly.
It was an honor to be invited to the White House and watch Biden restore Bear's Ears. The tribal leaders, Chairman Nuvangyaoma and Vice Chairman of the Hopi Tribe Clark W. Tenakhongva, explained to me how long they have worked on this occasion. (And then trying out the podium)
With all due respect
@LGHendersonUtah
this is a hollow statement. Healthcare & education are suffering, these platitudes do nothing to help us. School boards & city councils are the front line while you continually state CHOICE is paramount. Follow the science, follow the data.
My admiration for the healthcare heroes at Utah Valley Hospital grew even more today as I watched them in action. I am sincerely thankful for their relentless efforts despite their fatigue, and undaunted optimism in the face of discouragement.
We are ONE WEEK out from the Special Election that will determine who represents UT02 for the next year.
I’m asking for your vote to return common sense to our Congressional delegation.
Let’s get away from shutdowns and culture wars. There’s plenty of other work to be done.
What a surprise! Republicans are divided and their nominee is unclear. Not much of a change from a few months ago.
That’s no reason to sit back. I headed to Tooele last night - thanks to all for a great reception and important discussions on housing and transportation.

I am heartbroken. Our medical professionals are sending up warning flags.
Families will be without caregivers and have permanent side effects from COVID.
We should be preparing for these long term costs of COVID.
Please vaccinate!
HB 467 a “woman” of 14 shouldn’t use social media but should carry a baby unless verified by law enforcement…
A child should not give birth to a child nor be required to.
Best day ever!!!!
Nancy was one of my first students and she came up to the capital to advocate for kids. She said I helped her become a teacher and my pride is beyond words.
Whether I’m in the classroom or on the floor of the State Senate, my focus is always on public service.
I’m not running for Congress to put myself in the spotlight, I’m running to make sure Utahns have a common sense voice in their government, and I hope you’ll join me.

illustrate the many problems with HB 215. It is discriminatory because it does not ensure all students get equal acce to these “scholarships”.
I strongly support our veterans who have sacrificed to defend freedom at home and abroad.
That freedom means that women, and all Utahns, have the right to healthcare and privacy.
