I am running for Utah Senate!

I have hit the ground running with legislative proposals that resolve Utah’s longest-standing contentions about election integrity, separation of powers and checks and balances. If you’re fed up with increasing housing and living costs, concerned about evaporating water rights, collective bargaining and the right to sue civilly, criminal justice, redistricting shenanigans, judicial overreach, urban sprawl and the bottomless propensity of legislatures to sit on their hands and pretend there is nothing they can do to solve a problem, or offer a pretend solution that makes things worse, this is the right place for you to go.

I can’t fit all of the issues that I am passionate about and strive to find solutions for into one list, so please try me on literally any civic issue relevant to our our state, and I will do my best to give you an informed and constitutionally grounded response.

I’ll be publishing a steady stream of legislative proposals, recommendations and op-eds that actually address and resolve underlying problems that Utahans face, so bookmark this page and subscribe for updates!

If you have questions about the current legislative session, past legislation, legislative proposals, or would like to make or contribute to one, please drop me a line at stewart.seth.a@gmail.com.

My first legislative proposal has to do with the créme de da créme of ending political contention and restoring checks and balances and fair representation to our elections. It directly addresses the concerns raised by Count My Vote and reconciles them with the aims of the Keep My Voice movement, delivering a satisfactory and politically stable outcome and fair representation for everyone. I invite you to read it, understand its principlesh:

Restore the Republic Act

Then, I invite you to share it with others, using your own understanding of how this will restore civility and fair representation.

The secret sauce in all of this is to follow the Constitution. Nearly every proposal has to do with reviving a long-lost and completely forgotten constitutional safeguard that has been dismantled over the past 220+ years. The Constitution was meant to be improved and its checks and balances strengthened over time, not weakened or diminished.

Thank you, it’s a pleasure to be part of a republic with you!

Please don’t forget to turn out in force for the caucus and nominating conventions this year! I am running as a convention-only candidate. One of the things I love most about caucus as an election method is that you can actually get to know the people you are voting for rather than relying only on mailers, advertisements, news media and name recognition, which tend to favor candidates with a lot of money and existing political connections. I invite you to meet with me at upcoming events.

If you would like to donate time or means to the campaign, please reach out to me through my email.

Seth Stewart for Utah Senate district 21!
