Endorsements
“It is my pleasure to announce that I am endorsing Doug Welton in his run for Utah House District 65.
In addition to his role as a public servant, Doug currently works as an educator. His commitment to bringing up the next generation of independent thinkers is the kind of leadership Utah needs. Doug isn’t one to shy away from tough subjects, and he never takes the facts at face value. Instead, he spends extensive time asking questions and researching complex issues. This allows for a better understanding of our citizens’ concerns. After many years in various leadership roles, I am confident that Doug’s diverse service to our community makes him a strong candidate we can all rely on.
When America is at a precipice, conservative principles guide us back to prosperity. Utah needs more leaders like Doug Welton. I have no doubts that he will continue to serve with integrity and transparency.”
