Amendment D Is Still Dead

September 25, 2024, Salt Lake City - UDP Chair Diane Lewis released the following statement today.

“The Republican Supermajority overrode the will of the people by ignoring the 2018 Better Boundaries Initiative. When the Courts held that the Supermajority could not ignore Utahns’ wishes, the Supermajority put an intentionally deceitful constitutional amendment on the ballot, hand-crafted to take away voter power and give it to political elites. Today’s Supreme Court Decision ensures that voters can make their voices heard, despite all the Republican Supermajority’s attempts to trick Utahns into giving away their power.

However, the Republicans who tried to trick voters are still in power. They do not like being proven wrong, and they will lash out - as always, it will be the people of Utah who suffer. Utah needs leaders who listen to voters, and the only way to make that happen is by voting the corrupt MAGA Republicans who ignore what Utahns need out of office.”
