2022 UT Senate race: on Environment


Austin Searle: Ban euthanizing at animal shelters

Once an animal is no longer cared for or abused and found, animal control will put the animal into an Animal Shelter. Once they are at the shelter for an extended period and cannot get adopted, animal euthanasia happens; this should be a crime and considered animal cruelty. Instead, they should send them to an Animal Care Facility, where they can be loved and cared for until a home can be found.

Austin Searle: Why no vote on clean water infrastructure bill?

Sen. Mike Lee is getting blasted on social media for being one of only two senators to vote against a clean water infrastructure bill. A Democrat looking to unseat Lee in Utah also weighed in on the senator's vote. Austin Searle simply posted on Twitter, "Raise your hand if you believe in clean drinking water. Sen. Mike Lee seems not to think so."
