The Utah Republican Party needs a MAJOR reset and purging. Party leadership from the bottom up needs to be extricated like the virus it is. We need new blood, new ideas, not the stagnant feculent quagmire we currently have. We as members of the Republican Party are falling behind here in Utah by entrusting our faith in these leaders to do something yet when they partake of the steak they are immediately corrupt. They are apart of the hive mind that many on the other side fall trap to. The Utah Republican Party is corrupt and splintered and needs to be replaced. I’m calling on all counties to remove their leaders. Do not vote for the same ones. Do not entrust them with the power they’ve already abused. They do not care about you.

They seek to sell off your public lands they have stakes in to build 15 minute cities destroying what god has created.

They seek to build data centers with little regard to the farmer and rancher and regular person like you and I.

They kick out party members for simply disagreeing with them.

They siphon monies into campaigns and to those in primaries for the preferred candidate who will do their bidding just to keep control and keep out those that would do good.

They are letting our state wither like a wildflower in a summers drought.

It’s time to fight. It’s time to push back against the feckless leaders we have.

I’m done with this party and the path we’ve been force fed to believe is the path to restoring our republic.

The Utah Republican Party is no better than the Democrat party at this point in time.

There’s a strange kind of silence that comes at the end of something you’ve given everything to.

On the campaign trail, it’s loud right up until it isn’t. Speeches, handshakes, long days, constant motion. Then results hit, and whether you fall short or simply run out of road, it just… stops. No more calls. No more rooms to walk into. Just you, and the question of what now.

A thru-hike ends the same way, just in a different landscape.

For months, your world is stripped down to miles, weather, and forward progress. Every day has purpose. Every step matters. Then one day you either reach the end… or you don’t. Either way, the structure disappears overnight. The trail doesn’t need you anymore.

That’s where the imbalance hits.

People think finishing brings closure. Sometimes it does. But more often, it leaves a void. You’ve been living at a level of intensity most people never touch. High highs, real lows, complete investment. And then suddenly, nothing demands that version of you anymore.

Getting off trail early carries its own weight. So does losing a race you believed in. Different paths, same feeling. You replay decisions. You wonder what you could’ve done differently. You miss the grind you once couldn’t wait to escape.

It’s not failure. It’s withdrawal from purpose.

The hard part isn’t the loss or the ending. It’s learning how to carry that same drive into something new without the structure that forced it out of you.

Because the truth is, whether it’s miles or votes, you don’t just walk away unchanged.

You just have to decide where that version of you goes next.
