Utah voters should give independent candidate Evan McMullen an opportunity to represent them in the United States Senate. A vote for him will be a great statement for change across the country. Furthermore, it will be a vote for governance and leadership against tribal-partisan warfare.
Evan McMullin’s bid for U.S. Senate is unique. He is an independent candidate who is not aligned with any party. He can be described as a conservative aiming to govern and lead, as well as come up with a solution to challenges facing Utah citizens. In other words, he is facing the status quo head-on.
With him in the U.S. Senate on behalf of Utahns, Utah will experience visible, exciting, refreshing, and bold change. Even though the approach McMullin is applying might seem risky, since he is posing a challenge to the prevailing two-party system, the risk is well calculated with a magnificent upside-down that will see tremendous transformation across the nation, with Utah as the key beneficiary.
Sending Evan McMullin to the U.S. Senate with your vote will place Utah front and center. The progress of Congress today depends on the division of its votes. With Evan McMullin and Mitt Romney as representatives of Utah, it will make it the most on-demand state when it comes to passing legislation. Political parties will be forced to promote and put forward ideas based on merit instead of counting only on political muscle in Congress. Through this, your vote will count, and you'll have made a contribution to history.
Choosing loyalty to the nation rather than a party is a great hope that rising above blind gridlock and embracing debate over complex issues to come up with actionable remedies is a possibility. It means listening with an open mind to various perspectives and picking the best option. Your vote will open the way for breakthrough leadership. By this, I don't mean the U.S. Senate will encounter a wholesale transformation, but at least it is an experiment and statement of change worth giving a shot at. If Utahns elect McMullin to the closely divided U.S. Senate, he might become one of the most powerful senators. Using the power of a single senator rather than a reliable partisan, he will offer a solid check on both extreme Republican and extreme Democratic legislation.
Utahns must come to the realization that it is possible to unite and find solutions to challenges. Most law-abiding citizens yearn to stand up for what is good and right in their nation. There is a need for Utahns, and Americans as a whole, to share the belief that what unites them is greater than what separates them. Evan McMullin has that in mind, and will take advantage of the unity to strengthen democracy and create a brighter future. Let Utahns come out and vote for McMullin.
