Yesterday at the Utah Lt Governor's Office at the Utah State Capitol Building, I took the step of declaring my candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives, 2nd Congressional District.

Utah's CD2 is the most diverse and intense landscape of any congressional district, from the Great Salt Lake to Zion NP. We added a map to our website because our friends across the country were surprised how much beautiful wild land the district covers. #zionnationalpark #greatsaltlake #southernutah

My Democratic party involvement started in, of all

My Democratic party involvement started in, of all places, a war zone. In 2003, I went to Iraq, which was an unnecessary war I opposed. While serving in Baghdad that year, I founded “Donkeys in the Desert” — the Iraq chapter of Democrats Abroad. THAT got me into some interesting situations.

Every Utahn should visit the Topaz Museum in Delta, Utah. During WWII our government interned ~120,000 Japanese-Americans throughout the West. One camp was located just outside Delta. It is important history that should not be forgotten. Field trip distance. Be a better citizen and go visit.

Town of Milford, where my parents and grandparents

Town of Milford, where my parents and grandparents lived (see red brick house) and I and my brothers and sister spent a lot of time hunting arrowheads and chasing lizards as kids --- beautiful country now benefiting from solar and wind power industries. Home to a lot of trains and some real cowboys. In another post and throughout our campaign, we'll discuss downwinders --- nuclear testing that has greatly effected many in the district and beyond, including family members and many of their childhood friends.

Minersville, Utah, War Memorial. My other grandma, a Carter, grew up in Minersville. A lot of Carter boys went to war across many decades. Not all came home.

En route to Milford last week, we got stuck in the mud. Luckily a couple of Milford railroaders, including Curtis, got us unstuck. We owe them big time. My grandpa worked for Union Pacific for four decades. Next time I'm driving my 2003 Tacoma.

Good conversation over good food at Pastry Pub in Cedar City last week. Brittanie Parry & Lonnie White are a dynamic team helping Dems throughout Iron County. Was great to meet people who knew my parents and grandparents, who grew up in Milford and Beaver. We'll be back soon. #southernutah #cedarcityutah #utahdems

Really appreciate everyone making time over lunch

Really appreciate everyone making time over lunch last week in St George to join us for important dialogue about conservation of water resources. Residents also highlighted growth concerns and getting more balance in government. We also talked about health care concerns and how the U.S. should never start another unnecessary war. Thanks to our Washington County Dem hosts, who organized this great gathering. #southernutah #heathcare #waterresources

Our national parks remain national treasures and need more resources. Good to see some work being done to expand the main entrance of Zion NP. Our tax dollars being well spent. #nationalparks #zionnp #southernutah
