On Principles & Values:
Political extremes don't represent the majority
Evan believes America has reached a crossroads between chaotic decline and continued progress towards a more perfect union. Political extremes don't represent the majority of Utahns, or Americans, yet they've polarized the nation and now prevent it
from overcoming major challenges. From droughts to forest fires, water shortages, the rising cost of health care, and a never-ending pandemic,
America requires leaders who unite instead of divide, finding solutions based on truth and common ground.We recognize truth and reason as essential to a free and just society, and expect our leaders, citizens, and press to seek and promote them.
We oppose the employment of fear mongering, conspiracy theories, and falsehoods and instead support evidence-based policymaking and honest discourse.

We reaffirm the Constitution's guarantee of free speech and freedom of the press as essential to accountable government and the American way of life.
We sustain the rights of individuals and private entities to exercise this freedom, even to express unpopular views,
and condemn efforts to erode press freedom and public support for its vital role.
