Message from the Chairman:In moments of darkness, we must stand firm in the light of truth. The recent assassination of Charlie Kirk and the murder of faithful Saints remind us why our voice and our values matter. For Republicans, freedom, responsibility, limited government, and strong families are not slogans—they are guiding truths. They shape communities, inspire service, and strengthen the state we love. Ultimately life is meant for us to be engaged in being good and decent while boldly defending truth. Political engagement must be forum for that pursuit. To the rising generation: we need your energy and conviction. Step forward. Lead boldly. Live your values. And make all of us better with your friendship. Together, we can drive out darkness with light, and build a future worthy of the sacrifices of those before us. |

Utah’s Redistricting CrisisFellow Republicans, Utah’s Constitution is crystal clear: “the Legislature shall divide the state into congressional, legislative, and other districts accordingly” (Article IX, Section 1). But activist Judge Dianna Gibson has overstepped, giving the Legislature three unconstitutional “choices” — reject its maps unless they meet her personal standard, adopt maps from unelected activists, or accept a map she draws herself. This is not representative. It is not democratic. It is unconstitutional. We must also remember where this all began. Proposition 4, the so-called “Better Boundaries” initiative, barely passed with 50.34% to 49.66% — funded by millions in out-of-state money. The largest donor, Action Now Initiative, out of Texas, gave over $1.1 million. Other donors included the ACLU, SEIU, and the National Education Association. This was not a Utah grassroots movement — it was a takeover attempt by the Democratic Party and its national allies. Make no mistake: Continued interference from outside forces and judicial activism could undermine Utah. We need to fight back. Republicans could lose one, even two of our four congressional seats. That would not only weaken Utah’s voice nationally, but also shift the balance of power in Washington at a time when every seat matters. Now is the time to act. Submit your public comment today at https://redistricting.utah.gov/. And please, donate to the Republican Party now so we can fight back against judicial activism and out-of-state influence. Utah’s future — and America’s future — depend on it. Chairman Rob Axson breaks down the redistricting fight on KSL—listen here. |
