On November 11, we take time to honor Veterans. We recognize the diversity of veterans and the struggles that many of them have. May we work for a better world that avoids conflict at all cost and helps all struggling veterans.

Had a great time with @katie4perry.bsky.social at the 2025 Equality Utah Allies Gala. She is a wonderful supporter of the LGBTQ+ community and because of this, I am personally endorsing her in her run for Perry Utah City Council. Thank you Katie! #equalityutah #utpol

The VA is openly blaming the government shutdown on the Democrats. These systems need to stay out of partisan politics to best serve the fine people who have served this country.

As you may be aware, funding for some government agencies, including portions of the Department of Veterans Affairs, expired at midnight this morning.

President Trump opposes a lapse in appropriations, and on September 19, the House of Representatives passed, with the Trump Administration’s support, a clean continuing resolution to fund the government through November 21. Unfortunately, Democrats are blocking this Continuing Resolution in the U.S. Senate due to unrelated policy demands.

During the current lapse in funding, the vast majority of VA benefits and services will continue uninterrupted, but the government shutdown is not without consequences to VA. Here is what you need to know:

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has filed a brief with the Supreme Court that suggests that trans rights will interfere with religious freedom. My right to exist does not infringe on your right to worship as you please.

My heart is with my friends and family in the Latter-day Saint community. Many people admired President Nelson and his contributions to the faith and may his passing be a reminder for the good things he stood for. I am also heartbroken at the horrific attack in Michigan. Be safe, love your neighbor.

Celebrated Constitution Day with the Constitution Party of Box Elder County. This is part of my initiative to build bridges in Northern Utah between those who would normally be opposed. We walked away as friends and are planning to work together on the things we agree on.

It’s crazy to think it has been 24 years. Terrorism and violence should have no place in our world and may we work everyday to influence it towards peace. #neverforget

It’s stupid that this is even a way I have to think, but I am scared for when my spouse travels without me. Could she be targeted? Would they arrest her and take away the kids? If the government can target people simply by skin color and languages spoke, we are screwed as a society.

Conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in Monday's decision that the lower court's restraining order went too far in restricting how Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents could carry out stops or questioning of suspected unlawful migrants.
"To be clear, apparent ethnicity alone cannot furnish reasonable suspicion," he wrote.
"However, it can be a 'relevant factor' when considered along with other salient factors."

I am ending my campaign for Congress in Utah’s 1st Congressional District today. I am thankful for the support that I have been given, but given my commitments to the Box Elder Democratic Party and the LGBTQ+ community in Northern Utah, I need to step back to focus on these efforts. Thank you.

I would definitely not suggest to anyone to go to the DHS website and register for the job fair event in Provo taking away positions from other people and just not show up. That would be bad, we don’t do bad things. #utah #ice

Newsom was unlikely to get my primary vote long before his podcast debacle. I don't think he's actually going to make it as the nominee because at the end of the day, he's the sort of triangulator most of the base is sick of. That said, I will grant him the opportunity to do better on trans rights.

The state party seems to be taking this initiative seriously and the county parties may start getting a different kind of support that benefits the whole state. The priority is to work local and then build the party up from there.

The laws for getting your vote submitted and having it count have changed in Utah!!! This is a big deal!!! It is now too late to safely mail in your ballot, drop boxes are still a safe bet to have your vote count or voting in person. www.facebook.com/share/r/1EVa...

I got punched in my privilege yesterday. I found out to renew a green card is around $500. Imagine, right now, having to come up with $500 so you don’t get sent to another country. The government’s control over immigration is gross and broken.

Buttigieg keeps bringing up sports fairness, but doesn’t care to bring up how us as trans people are getting screwed everywhere else. I’m not going to win a fight against those that despise my existence by caving on one of the things that makes up my identity.

I don't understand where the idea that I need to personally like and understand someone in order to care about their rights came from. Do other people just not have empathy for people who aren't fun to be around???

women are told being “nice” will save them from male violence but being nice has only ever benefited our abusers. in reality, women are better protected when they have financial independence, community support networks, access to education and affordable child care, self-defense skills, etc.

Found this one in Box Elder County today. Perry, along HWY 89. I don’t think there is any active threat to our community necessarily, but as a queer person married to a person of color, this is always concerning and we need to stomp this out before they feel emboldened.

So far there are only two candidates who are reporting to the FEC from district 1. Blake Moore and me. Since the beginning of the year, I have spent almost $120 and have $0 in the bank (website). He already has $2mil. Ask yourself, what is the money being used for?

Although trans issues are not the only issue I am running on, inclusion of trans people in society is super high on my list. The party is stuck with me, a trans person, running for office and being visible. Fortunately, Utah Dems seem to be very supportive and I have only received good responses.

This video may be a little harsh, but the message is important. It makes me tear up every time I watch it. They put it out right after the 2024 election and it has put me on the trajectory to fight for the community and for my LGBTQ+ young family members and eventually to run for Congress.
