Burgess Owens declined reelection). Won the April 25, 2026 Utah Democratic convention with 94.9%, advancing straight to the November general election (no June 23 primary).
Candidacy-currency: WON the April 25, 2026 UT Democratic convention (94.9%) — he is the NOMINEE, not a primary contestant; no June 23 primary; faces GOP nominee Mike Kennedy in the Nov. 3, 2026 general (R+14). Platform (own words, campaign runtime JSON): pro-choice ('between a woman and her doctor'); pro-LGBTQ/transgender protections (2025 Pride parade); opposes private-school vouchers / pro-public-school funding; comprehensive immigration reform with 'workable pathways' and anti-ICE-raid; anti-crypto ('needs heavy regulation'); anti-Citizens-United, ban congressional stock trading. DEVIATIONS: condemned the U.S.-Israel strike on Iran as unconstitutional 'war without the approval of Congress' (Article I); active small-farm/water advocate (protested the Joule Capital data-center pipeline before the Millard County Commission).
