“Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you." - Pericles
I launched Utah Political Watch as an independent source for news on politics and policy in the Beehive State and beyond.
Too often, people tune out political journalism because they don't think it matters, it's too complicated, or it's too contentious.
I want to bring you timely news and commentary about politics and policy in Utah and beyond to help you understand not only what but why.
About me
I'm an award-winning journalist who has been covering Utah politics for over 25 years. I've worked for several outlets in Utah, including The Salt Lake Tribune, UtahPolicy.com, KSL Radio and KUER radio.
My work was cited in the final report from the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol (page 171).
