It’s Election Day! If your ballot is still sitting on the kitchen counter, today’s the day to get it in.
Please don’t mail it. Your ballot has to be in the county clerk’s hands by 8 p.m. tonight, and a ballot mailed this morning won’t be counted. Take it to a drop box or a vote center instead.
Trick-or-treaters aren’t the only ones knocking on doors in Utah this weekend. This weekend a huge crew of volunteers kicked off our canvass and talked with neighbors about the importance of this election. Thank you to everyone who has showed up. Three days left.
The House has been haunted for too long. It's time to clean it up. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. If your ballot is still sitting on the counter, fill it out and drop it off this weekend. Happy Halloween! 🎃 benmcadams.com/vote
A little rain can’t stop us! Four days to go, Utah.
Up and down the ballot, we have candidates ready to get to work for Utah families, whether that’s on the school board, at the county, or in the statehouse. People like Luke Maynes, Blake Townsend, and Araueni Olivares.
In five days, Utah’s 1st District picks its next member of Congress, and I want you in the room when we find out.
I always look forward to visiting our senior centers for Salt Lake County’s Candidate Days.
Most of what I heard came back to one idea: people did everything they were supposed to do. They worked, they paid into Social Security and Medicare every paycheck, and they planned for a fixed income.
There are 13 days until Election Day, and I’m doing everything I can to help the Democrats further down your ballot finish strong. I’d love for you to join me.
On doorsteps this fall, the thing I hear most is some version of “I’m tired of paying for decisions I didn’t make.”
Utah’s retirees paid into Social Security and Medicare every paycheck of their working lives. I’m proud to have the endorsement of the Alliance for Retired Americans and its 21,015 Utah members.
Doors in the morning, the Capitol in the afternoon. I heard the same thing in both places: the people making decisions in Washington should have to answer to the people living with the consequences. No one is above the law, and no one is beneath it. Thanks to everyone who showed up. 15 days to go.
Not every cost shows up on a bill. Some come from keeping your word.
When keeping my oath meant voting to impeach a president, I knew it would likely cost me the election. I cast that vote anyway, and I'd do it again.
In 2018, Utah voters expanded Medicaid since the Legislature wouldn’t. Under Amendment B, that vote would have failed, and thousands of Utahns would still be uninsured.
Ballots are in the mail! A few rules changed this year, and I don’t want anyone’s vote thrown out over a technicality.
Sign your return envelope and write the last four digits of your Utah driver's license, state ID, or Social Security number.
Ballots are in the mail!
Don't forget: ballots now have to be received by the county clerk by 8 p.m. on Nov. 3. Postmarks won’t count anymore, so vote early and use a drop box in the final week.
Drop boxes, early voting, and Election Day vote center info can be found at benmcadams.com/vote.
Another packed weekend! Knocked doors with some fantastic candidates, stopped by the Avenues Street Fair, and spent time with the SLCo Democrats Environmental Caucus.
Ballots go in the mail tomorrow. If you’ve been waiting to get involved, now’s the time: mobilize.us/benmcadamsforcongressut01
5 days until ballots go out. 26 until Election Day.
Prices keep climbing, the lake keeps shrinking, and the people in charge keep doing just fine. They’re counting on the rest of us to stay home. We’re not.
I hope you'll join us.

Thanks to the University of Utah College Democrats for having me last night. We talked about how I got into this work and why I'd encourage any of them to try public service. You get to see your work show up in people's lives, and that never gets old.
We are 28 days away from an incredibly consequential election, and whoever wins will have big decisions to make. Will we step up and save the Great Salt Lake? Are we going to protect our public lands? Are we going to make life more affordable for Utahns?
Most political fights are reversible. A bad law gets repealed. A bad budget gets rewritten next session. Utah's public lands aren't that kind of fight — once we carve up our land for mining, drilling, and logging, no next election undoes it.
This election isn’t really about Republicans versus Democrats. It’s about the people almost two thousand miles away in Washington making Utahns’ lives that much harder—and about the people who are enabling them.
