Utah needs a new political party because:
-
The old parties created the current problems.
-
The old parties serve their party establishments rather than serving the people of Utah.
-
The old parties practice extreme partisan politics, instead of searching for solutions.
The citizens of Utah deserve a party that:
-
Does not carry the baggage of past partisan politics.
-
Advocates for change to better serve the people of Utah, not the political parties.
-
Looks for new solutions while maintaining traditional values.
What Does This New Party Stand for?
We believe politics should represent ordinary citizens more than politicians. We support the following:
-
Term limits for public officials
-
Non-partisan elections for school board, county offices, and the state attorney general
-
An independent redistricting commission to prevent the legislature from gerrymandering
-
Stricter campaign finance limits
-
Increased funding to fix our state’s schools, especially to lower class sizes
-
A simpler, fairer tax system that requires a fair share to be paid by all.
How is this Party Different from Republicans or Democrats?
-
We believe in achieving results and finding practical solutions rather than continuing partisan gridlock and pushing extreme agendas.
-
Bringing together Republicans who worry their party is becoming too right wing and Democrats who believe the same about their party, but from the left.
-
Reaching out to independents who have not felt either party represents their more moderate, less extreme views.
-
Not putting strict litmus tests on candidates or requiring members to adopt extreme positions to feel like they belong to the party.
