Andy S in Utah @andyswats.bsky.social · 16hWhere is Senator Lee? The Senate is out of Session, again. He was off a month in August, in the Spring, and now until after the elections. Why are there no in face town halls in the state capitol planned? When will he listen to constituents instead of telling them how they feel. 000
Andy S in Utah @andyswats.bsky.social · 16hIn Ohio 1400 workers at a truck factory were laid off. What do you think will say and how will it be he blames Biden? Wonder if they feel like Trump has kept his promise to Make America Great Again. Wonder how that news will resonate withMAGA. Or will it just be fake news? 042

My opponent has ZERO individual donations: her funders are the Utah Republican Party ($5000), a rural electric PAC ($500), and her family business. 092

Andy S in Utah @andyswats.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Senator Lee, You should look in the mirror along with the horse you rode in on.
