Utah’s 1st District

A couple of weeks before the June 25th primary in Utah’s 1st district, we were able to raise some funds to try and unseat what we felt was corrupt establishment politician, Blake Moore, who seems more interested in doing the party’s bidding, than representing his constituents.

We were on the ground in Utah’s first district, campaigning for Blake Moore’s opponent as soon as we could. We reached out to both candidates running in the Primary: Blake Moore and Paul Miller. Although we hoped to see Blake Moore unseated, we wanted to sit and talk with him. We reached out to Blake Moore’s office multiple times, even stopping by his office in person to try and ask him some questions. We were never able to reach Congressman Moore, but primary candidate Paul Miller responded to our request and we were able to sit down with him for an interview. ( Video Interview )

After our interview with Mr. Miller, we felt he would be the better choice to represent the people in Utah. We spent money on digital billboards, made flyers, and walked around, talking to as many people as we could to get Paul Miller elected. Unfortunately, our efforts were not enough, but we are not discouraged. If anything, that shows we can win come 2026 if we come together and try.

29,000 votes that is how many votes Paul Miller was able to get. Not a lot compared to Blake Moore’s 72,000. When we look at the cost, we are winning. $12,500 is how much Paul Miller and Country Community Honor spent in the primary. A little over 40 cents a vote compared to the over $900,000 Blake Moore spent in the same Primary. This comes out to 13 dollars a vote.

Blake Moore spent 30 times more than us and Paul Miller. On top of limited funds, Country Community Honor was only on the ground in Utah the last 9 days before the election. two people, nine days on the ground, $500 spent on ads and flyers, a meeting with a small town city council, and a sit-down recorded conversation with Paul Miller,

That is what we were able to accomplish. We had 90,000 impressions on our digital billboards, handed out hundreds of flyers, and talked to hundreds of people. We could have won if we had more money, resources, influence, and time. If it costs us 40 cents a vote, $50,000 spent would have netted us over 100,000 votes, which would have been more than enough to win. If we come together and put our money behind our beliefs, we can win against the political establishment.

We have a little under two years until the 2026 general and only a year before the primary season starts. We need to start gaining momentum now so come the primary elections, we have more than enough money, influence, and resources, to make a difference.
