Ok, I’m not saying his donation is THE REASON he got the donation. But I honestly can’t imagine it wasn’t a factor in that decision.

Not just that, he said he would love to see Utah be like Florida in letting the state party itself guide state law. Florida, the “don’t say gay” state. Bird said he’d follow the Ron DeSantis model of state government. But he gets the endorsement because he donates the EqUt and his brother is gay.

Not true. UDOT has repeatedly said it is illegal. They just don’t enforce it very often.

Him using AI slop for almost all of his campaign marketing is a big red flag.

Well, umm, this is all new to me. I’ve known Eva only a little bit over the past few years and I had no idea about any of this. My jaw hit the floor when I saw this news.

Be the kind of neighbor that has neighborhood kids feeling perfectly comfortable using your driveway as home plate for cul-de-sac wiffle ball games. I have some pretty awesome neighborhood kids and I’m so glad they (and their parents) view me and my house as a safe place.

Tonight my wife and I were honored to attend the Equality Utah Capitol Club dinner. We were lucky enough to share a table with new Executive Director Essie Gonzsen and I believe Equality Utah is in excellent hands. I’m sure excited to support this organization and the critical work in our community

You may he right, because I never seem to not underestimate the nutjobbery of GOP delegates.

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 21/04/2026

I think he’ll advance to a primary, but maybe not get 50%. I mean Trevor Lee didn’t get 50% so … That said, I think he’ll do exactly what he did two years ago in the general population primary - fail spectacularly

Methinks they create a small SaaS plugin in hopes of being purchased by a larger SaaS provider shortly after a hyper-inflated IPO

Oh, and saying the SLCo Council needs more testosterone and that’s why she’s running.

Zach is going to destroy Kathleen. Her social media campaign has mostly been screeds about homeless people visitng South Jordan, UPU book banning crap and whining about taxes.

I may decide the time has passed for me to run for office again, but I’m not going away. My focus is local. I want to make my county, my city and my neighborhood stronger, healthier and better. That’s where I think, perhaps, I’m meant to be in the work - with some dirt on my soles and fingernails.

010

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

I didn’t run for office just to hide in a corner if I lost. I ran because I want to make a difference in my community and now I get to do that with a different kind of focus. The work continues and I’m honored to be deeply involved in the Salt Lake County Democratic Party.

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

I’ll be back to work within the party grinding away to make sure we elect as many Democrats as possible in Salt Lake County and I’ll sign on to personally help elect some of the good friends I’ve made by knocking doors, phone banking and more.

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

My opponent on the Democratic side, Luke Maynes, secured enough delegate votes to avoid a primary and I endorse and support him. While losing a close election hurts a bit - I was four or five votes away from sending it to a district wide primary - I am finding many silver linings in the outcome.

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

So anyway … Yesterday was the Salt Lake County Democratic Party Nominating Convention and I was a candidate for Salt Lake County Council. After the delegate votes were counted, I did not advance and that is OK.

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

Now I can be a snarky antagonist on social media again.

020

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

There are several silver linings to today’s outcome. I am good to go and will be working hard with the county party and for individual candidates

Eva campaign staff called in to report she had flight problems and was stuck out of town. FWIW

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

Now pardon me while I quietly repress the anxiety I’ll be feeling all day while putting on my brave big boy face. Let’s go!

010

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

That’s when one of us will face the Republican candidate who is a MAGA sympathizer in moderate clothing. I mean he hangs out with Trevor Lee and John Johnson. So today, we need to vote for and support the Democrat who can win over unaffiliated and disaffected Utah GOP voters. I believe that is me.

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

It’s Salt Lake County Democratic Convention today and I’m running for Salt Lake County Council in what I anticipate to be a close race for delegate votes. My Democratic opponent and I share probably 99 percent of the same values and positions, but the real, long-view, race is in November.

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

In Utah, in March, 4594 people updated their official party registration to Democratic. Meanwhile, 810 ditched the GOP. Utah Dem messaging to “come home” worked. Still a huge statewide gap, but slow & steady progress is being made. Might translate into a flipped state house or senate seat?

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

I’m making 40-50 calls to delegates every day. Most go to voicemail and that’s to be expected. But, I gotta tell you, the best chats and conversations I have are with the old people. Folks, old Democrats are freaking adorable. Can’t say that about old Republicans

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

Ask me how I know and what I’ve been assured. Now the task is to get 55% on Saturday.

The local Dem money machine will coalesce behind the official nominee.

Is Anderson going to beat Stringham at convention? How much will her MAGA extremism turn off moderate voters across the entire county? If she advances, kinda thinking it’s looking like an easy Dem win for the at-large seat.

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

I like Eva. That said, I think this (for her) is as much about brand building for the future as it is about running for CD1 now.

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

For sure. Also an affordable housing trend and a graying population trend. When we moved into my ward there were 50+ young women going to girls camp that summer just from our ward. Now it’s more like 15-20 even after merging with another ward. Meanwhile many homes are empty nests.

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

Murray could certainly use new, larger library, early childhood education and senior centers. And the available LDS church buildings are excellent opportunities to expand if budgets allow.

030

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

My stake in particular went from eight wards to five 3-4 years ago and has now been dissolved and wards split between two other stakes. The church is selling off various chapels and other properties, as well. I’m choosing to look at it as an opportunity for city/county to expand service centers

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

I’m curious about some of this. In my stake (and surrounding stakes) we had several wards renamed from numbers to neighborhood identifiers (such as 31st to River Park) and then others closed. Murray just had six stakes condensed to four stakes with several wards closed and merged with other wards.

My birthday is coming up next week and you want to know one thing I would love? And this is kind of a stretch ask from a big fan, but I would really love a personal campaign sketch and fundraising link repost from one of my journalism heroes, @bagleycartoons.bsky.social Can’t hurt to shoot my shot

The maps can change after every census to maintain population equality. With Utah growth patterns, there will likely be adjustments to CD borders as well and Utah HD and SD boundaries. But I think we can expect the CDs to look very similar after 2032. #fingerscrossed.

Is the SLCoGOP spending everything in lawyers?

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

Dear Utah GOP, a few things about this picture I took this morning. 1. Caucus Night was three days ago. Clean up your trash. 2. Placing signs in the parking strip is technically illegal. Train your HD and precinct chairs better. 3. Sticking this outside a church? Ewww. Just, ewww. Also illegal.

Jared Eborn @jaredeborn.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

Just got my list of delegates. I’ll let them sleep before tomorrow’s launch of crazy Utah politicking. 22 days until convention and inboxes for delegates about to BLOW
