July 22, 2024, Salt Lake City – UDP Chair Diane Lewis released the following statement today:

“I am proud to announce that the Utah Delegation to the Democratic National Convention has unanimously endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris for the Democratic Presidential Nomination.

From prosecuting criminals and investigating predatory banks as Attorney General of California to casting the tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, Kamala Harris is the most qualified candidate to lead our country for the next four years. Her background as a criminal prosecutor makes her the perfect candidate to defeat Donald Trump, a convicted felon and twice-impeached ex-President.

With MAGA Republicans attacking abortion rights, LGBTQ+ rights, social security, medicaid, and our country’s democratic institutions, this election is the most important of my lifetime. Vice-President Harris is up to the challenge. In less than 48 hours, she has already built a coalition of young people, women, Latino voters, and Black voters that will carry her campaign to victory. 

Utah Democrats are committed to joining Vice-President Harris’ coalition to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme MAGA agenda this November.”
