Ditching the Moderate Label

For years, Utah Democrats had to pretend to be something they’re not to get elected. They’d tout themselves as sensible moderates, hoping to woo conservative voters. But that’s all changing now, thanks to a redistricting shakeup that’s created a deep blue district in Salt Lake City.

Progressives Take the Stage

It’s a bold move – running as unabashed progressives in a state that’s traditionally been a Republican stronghold. But hey, it’s worth a shot. Utah’s Democrats figure they’ve got nothing to lose, so they’re embracing their inner liberal. And you know what? It just might work. The new district is packed with left-leaning voters who are hungry for real change. If Democrats can tap into that energy, they might just find themselves representing Utah in Congress.
