@mikemckellutah The Laugevegur is on my list some day! Congrats Mike!

I just finished my first Ultramarathon, 55k. 5:52:36. 34th overall out of about 600 crazy runners in Iceland. It was a truly incredible experience. I also believe I was the fastest American in the race.💪🏼💪🏾💪🏿

This is simply incredible. I've never had a hole-in-one. I'd take it.

Today is the day! We have the unique opportunity to have a medical doctor in the Utah Senate. Vote Dr. Brian Zehnder for Senate District 8! Last minute question? Dr. Z's personal cell: 801-330-0380

@greekdad Vote often :)

@docBrianZ I wish you the best tomorrow. I hope you're victorious. You have my vote. Even though we all know what that means.

Utah is in Covid Crisis. We have ZERO doctors in the Utah Senate. You deserve at least one. The perspective of one on the front lines can help us craft better health policy in the future. We can recover. I know it. Let's crush Covid together.

Utah Climate and Clean Air Compact: Will it make a difference or is it simply a "feel good" gesture? Pundits in the article weigh in. What is your advice? Can Utah clean it up further? We need leaders who can lead, who care, and who listen. utahpolicy.com/index.php/feat…

Does transparency matter? Whether in medicine or lawmaking, it is critical. As your Senator, Dr. Z will report back to the people of our state. You deserve good communication. I like people.

Will the Covid vaccine work? Scientists are not sure. Most experts think it will be more like the flu shot than measles. Will people take the vaccine? Current estimate 35%. As a doctor, Dr. Z gives science, data, and facts. As your Senator, the same applies.

Ration care? Sadly, it could be next. One possible protocol: Patients worse despite ICU care would be moved OUT first. If 2 patients' conditions are equal, the young get priority over the old, since older patients are more likely to die. #MaskUpUT ow.ly/Sx1V50C643j

Utah is in Third Surge (Top Graph) All of Utah is in high transmission index (Bottom Left)) Infections at home and social settings: One family member gets it, and spreads to rest of family (Bottom Right) Please wear masks at home too.

VOTE BY NOVEMBER 3RD! Be sure to mail in your ballots or deliver them to one of the many drop off locations! Vote informed, vote early, vote Dr. Z! Dr. Z's personal cell: 801-330-0380 slco.org/clerk/election…

Science data, and facts help us make decisions. In Arizona, sustained community mitigation measures, including mask wearing, can help prevent spread and cases of Covid-19. We need leaders who can give and know the science. It's not about politics. cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/6…

The rolling 7-day average # of positive tests is 1,288/day The percent positive is at record high of 15.5%. Hospitals are near capacity. Mask, distance, and get expert advice from your doctor. Utah has zero doctors in the Senate. Time for change. deseret.com/utah/2020/10/2…

Haven't voted yet? Are you leaning my way, but need a reason to vote Z? Here's a list of some things I will do for you. Turn in your ballot today!

Science, data, and facts need to drive behavior. Not politics.

Hands Off or Hands On? Scientists clash on whether to "let it spread" vs. "lock down" policy for long-term recovery from the pandemic. The author suggests that when in doubt, a lower risk/reward choice is wiser for the public good. Vaccine to the rescue? economist.com/science-and-te…

Covid cases keep rising. We need leaders who can look around the bend. We need leaders who know health. Dr. Z can help us recover. Vote today!

What does a family doc know about health access? Plenty. In 2004, Dr. Z founded the Utah Partners for Health, a non-profit that provides access to healthcare. “Never underestimate the difference YOU can make in the lives of others. " ― Pablo upfh.org

Honored to be on the Utah Cannabinoid Task Force. The task force helps doctors learn the best science. Cannabis as medicine can help some people in pain. Let's focus on science and not politics!

“I have worked with Dr. Zehnder and he was a very effective member of the senate. He brings a vast amount of healthcare knowledge and experience that is very valuable as we deal with so many health related issues. We do need a doctor's perspective in the senate.” -Evan Vickers
