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

Utahns: I wish the GOP in Utah would just stop being weirdos. SLCo GOP: Say less.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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

Posting just because I know @purrtah.bsky.social will react.

What a night! Utah Caucus Night was an adventure. Met and spoke with hundreds of people in the heart of Salt Lake County to share my hopes to make a real difference in our community and lives.

They’re such dorks.

Let them eat their own. He’s not just a ‘fall in line’ Republican, he’s also a conspiracy theorist who will eat the GOP from within. If he loses in the primary, he’ll run as a write in or independent and split the GOP vote, making UT-3 absolutely in play.

One of the biggest mistakes Brigham made was not placing the temple plot next to Jordan River instead of City Creek.

I have sponsored a table for eight at this event and still have a few spots left. If you’re eager to get involved in Democratic politics in Salt Lake County and want to join us, hit me up via DM. Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs will be our featured speaker. Tickets at www.slcountydems.com/politisauce

The options, Mike, are the same as they’ve been for years: Accept Prop 4 and quit being infants that whine about everything. I hope the Dems flip two seats in Utahn because of your un-American, anti-democracy power trips.

Losers

Utahns don’t trust the Utah GOP. Yet another GOP signature gathering effort fails spectacularly. From the crash-and-burn Prop 4 repeal to a challenge of Salt Lake County’s tax rate hike (and let’s be honest, no one ‘likes’ tax hikes) they’re bad - comically bad - at signature gathering efforts.

At the Salt Lake County Council and they’ve discussed how the Utah GOP legislature voter suppression, I mean voter ‘security’ bills will force the county to pay an estimated $9.8 million to fund the state mandates and hire hundreds of paid poll workers, Sheriff officers & dozens of polling locations

This isn’t exactly a Salt Lake County Council issue, and yet it is. So here we are. Racism isn’t a dog whistle when it’s this blatant. Trump’s attack on the Obamas must be condemned — silence on this issue is complicity and enables hate. I stand for dignity and equality - always.

This campaign starts with conversations. Come meet me at Winchester Park on Saturday, Feb 7 at 4 PM for my Salt Lake County Council campaign launch. Ask questions, learn more about the campaign, make a donation if you’re able — and grab some pizza 🍕 I’d love to see you there.

Working up a new library of images to use during the next 10 months. Am I handsome enough for your vote or should I get lip, cheek and chin filler?

“Prop 4 repeal signatures called 'most extensive fraud that we've seen’” The Utah GOP loves to cheat, but they’re really, really bad at doing it. youtu.be/docVfVIzy5Y

Instead of voting to increase the minimum wage, or funding education, or funding childcare, or transit, or healthcare, or … anything that actually helps … The Utah GOP is all “here’s $45 in lower property taxes. Go get pregnant.”

Here’s an idea for the Utah GOP: Stop passing unconstitutional legislation and you won’t have to have it tried in a “constitutional court.”

Massive crowd to protest and speak against the Parley’s Canyon gravel pit public. This is an absolutely horrible idea and all steps to prevent it must be taken. When elected, I will engage the Salt Lake County Council to prevent environmentally disastrous projects like this.

Went to a local political gathering and decided to take evasive action on the name tag.

The GOP has poisoned its own well.

I propose a law to restrict the use of sharks with friggen laser beams in the Great Salt Lake. There’s no evidence or proof, at all, but I’m sure it is happening.

As a person who lived in Minnesota for two years, as a candidate for Salt Lake County Council, and most importantly as a human being I am deeply disturbed by the routine display of inhumanity and cruelty shown by the current administration. In no uncertain terms, I condemn it.

DHS is lying.

The GOP is determined to create a problem to fix a problem that simply does not exist. Call it what it is. The Utah GOP is engaging in voter suppression.

As working families struggle with rising costs, GOP members of the Salt Lake County Council are now pushing budget cuts that would close county-operated day care centers—threatening a critical lifeline in communities that can least afford to lose it.

This week, 7 of the 10 worst air quality readings in the nation were right here in Salt Lake County. That’s not just a bad day—it’s a public health warning. Clean air isn’t partisan. It’s about protecting our kids, our seniors, and every family who calls Salt Lake County home. JaredEborn.com

NOT ME!!! But seriously, I have been mistaken for him multiple times at various political gatherings. As in, people saw me and thought Phil Lyman was trying to infiltrate a Democratic Party meeting.

This is the way.

Today, my ‘opponent’ for the Democratic spot in the ballot for Salt Lake County Council in District 3 and I sat next to each other at a Salt Lake Council meeting.

Several people have reached out to ask how they can support me in my campaign for Salt Lake County Council. The easiest way to do that is simple -- become a delegate at Caucus Night on March 17. Then vote for me as a delegate at the Salt Lake County Democratic Party Convention on April 11.

Some news! I’m running for Salt Lake County Council in District 3. It’s time to flip the council and stand up for the working families that make the heart of Salt Lake County. Website and information on how you can support my campaign coming soon.

Typing in a Bolt ride on my way to CDG leaving Paris. Tiny part of me wishes I could just stay, but excited to get home and get to work fixing my own back yard. Lots to do and I have some plans. News coming in a couple days of days. #runjaredrun

Is it OK this Thanksgiving to shoosh your GOP family members who say things you don’t want to hear with a gentle “Quiet, piggy!” from across the dinner table?

On to the next round.

Optimistic and hopeful, but +39 is too close to call. But 55-45 calling for a change in the City Council seats bodes well. Now the real work begins.

Ballots for the Municipal Primary Election are being mailed out tomorrow! Make sure that you have a plan to vote so that your voice can be heard. Visit Vote.Utah.Gov for more information on how to vote. #utpol
