We can't let AIPAC and Trump donors buy another seat. This is the politics voters are sick of — back-channel fundraising schemes and shadowy networks designed to hide who is actually funding our elections. Utahns deserve full transparency.

Ben McAdams passed a single bill during his time in Congress. Meanwhile, he voted against raising the minimum wage, against protecting public lands, and against reproductive freedom, while allowing Trump to bomb Iran. That's not progress.
Ben McAdams@BenMcAdams

Last night, CD1 voters heard a lot of promises. But slogans are not solutions, and delivering real change is harder than promising it. Being progressive has to mean making progress. That's what Ben has always done. That's what he'll do again. Vote Ben McAdams by June 23rd.

@BenPeck12 Utah Democrats already VOTED at convention. BETTER than a poll. We picked Mohamed as the preferred progressive over Blouin. Why hasn’t Blouin withdrawn already?

#utpol news: Utah CD1 Dem candidate @NateForUtah is commissioning an independent poll for the Dem primary and says that if he is not the leading progressive candidate he will drop out of the race The move: Blouin doesn't want to split the progressive vote and ensure McAdams' victory — so he's also calling on the other progressives to drop out if they aren't the leading opposition candidate

@cami_mondeaux In order to get the poll results back before ballots are sent out we couldn’t wait any longer before commissioning this poll. Waiting to meet until after the debate wasn’t an option if we wanted poll results in time.

Some #utpol drama: The other progressive candidates don't seem to like Blouin's idea... and Michael Farrell says "Nate went ahead without either Liban (Mohamed) or me being supportive or on board." Farrell tells me Blouin has been pushing him and Mohamed to commission a poll for days, but said Blouin was "unwilling to wait" until after tomorrow's debate. For his part, Blouin told me there was no time to waste because ballots are being sent out next week So even if the poll shows Blouin on top, there's no guarantee the other progressives would be willing to drop out

I'm sick & tired of elections hinging on the whims of gigantic donors who steer our politics away from the needs of average people in favor of the military industrial complex & big tech companies that promote despair & division. Enough is enough.

One of my opponents owns stock in a dirty data center & is worth upwards of $5 million. Another trades crypto & pulls in nearly $1 million a year doing legal work for the fossil fuel industry. The third quit a big tech lobbying job to run for this seat but failed to file disclosures. sltrib.com/news/politics/…

@BenPeck12 @NateForUtah Hi Ben (he/him), that was a long time ago and does not represent my current views. I am a progressive Democrat and while Nate has an incredible record of accomplishments in the Utah State Senate, he must stand aside to consolidate the progressive vote around Liban.

@NateForUtah Nate, as a longtime progressive Democrat I am deeply worried about you and Liban splitting the progressive vote and allowing Ben “Republikkkan” McAdams to win the primary. Can you please drop out and endorse Liban? He’s the only one with a chance to win!

During his time in Congress, Ben McAdams was the ONLY Democrat in the House to vote no, alongside the rest of the Utah GOP delegation, on H.R. 535, the PFAS Action Act of 2019, "which would take important steps in addressing the growing national PFAS crisis." lcv.org/roll-call-vote…
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS

Today the EPA proposed repealing limits on multiple types of “forever chemicals” in drinking water. If finalized, the Trump administration proposal would end drinking water limits for four toxic PFAS.

I proudly joined UTA workers today to rally for a fair contract with their employer. They've been without a Collective Bargaining Agreement for 6 months and it's time for UTA to negotiate in good faith as workers worry about privatization of good union jobs and pay and benefits that don't keep up with the cost of living. These are the employees that move our communities and we need to have their back.

@WilliamMeservy Bodily autonomy should absolutely be a litmus test. Especially in a district that voted for Kamala Harris by a wider margin than the state of Massachusetts

@BenPeck12 Good. So was former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Don’t make abortion a litmus test. That’s a losing strategy

You were rated as one of the worst Democrats on reproductive freedom during your time in Congress
Ben Peck tweet media
Ben McAdams@BenMcAdams

The Supreme Court has to make a decision tomorrow on keeping access to Mifepristone by mail, tele-health, and retail pharmacy. My stance is unequivocal: this is essential health care that must be kept available for all who wish to access it. I’ve fought for reproductive rights, even when it cost me. I earned a 100% rating from Planned Parenthood from my time in the State Senate and was even called its “most radically pro-abortion legislator.” If you send me back to Washington, I’ll keep fighting to codify Roe v. Wade and protect access to Mifepristone as Donald Trump and his allies in Congress and on the Supreme Court try to strip it away.
