Nate Blouin speaks truth to power, stands his ground, and refuses to back down. Utah deserves that kind of representative.

Call to Action

Ben McAdams is running in Utah's new 1st Congressional District, a Salt Lake County seat Kamala Harris carried by 23 points in 2024. This is the best chance in a generation to send a real Democrat to Congress from Utah, and we cannot afford to settle for a conservative Democrat like McAdams. In his single House term, he broke with his party again and again: the only Democrat to vote against protecting drinking water from toxic chemicals, a no on the largest labor rights expansion in 70 years, a cosponsor of a Republican abortion restriction, and he received donations from the fossil fuel industry, private prisons, and AIPAC donors. The record below documents it all.

<h2>The Long Road to Passing Good Policy</h2>Serving in a chamber controlled by a Republican supermajority, Nate Blouin has had to fight for every inch of progress. Despite those steep odds, he has had two of his bills signed into law, a testament to his ability to build coalitions without compromising his values. But Nate's record is about more than legislation. He has used his seat and his microphone to stand up for his constituents, pushing back against Republican overreach and making sure working Utahns have a voice in a chamber that too often ignores them. He has also introduced bold, forward-looking proposals: legislation to get ICE out of Utah, a $20 minimum wage, and a state-run universal healthcare program. These bills may not have passed in a supermajority Republican legislature, but they have moved the debate, put his colleagues on record, and shown Utahns that a different vision for their state is possible.

<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2>Run does not process donations directly on our platform, as is standard with most political and advocacy sites.Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea. Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page. Some common options for donation processing include:<ul><li><a href="https://secure.actblue.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ActBlue</a></li><li><a href="https://www.campaigndeputy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Campaign Deputy</a> </li><li><a href="https://goodchange.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">GoodChange</a></li><li><a href="https://numero.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Numero</a></li><li><a href="https://www.ngpvan.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NGP VAN</a></li></ul>

Congress has stopped working for us and I’m tired of being told to “deal with it.”

<h1>Abortion and Reproductive Freedom</h1>H.R. 2694, Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (2020): McAdams voted for a motion that would have added a broad religious exemption to the PWFA, which critics said would undermine the bill's protections and enable discrimination against pregnant workers, including those who are pregnant and unmarried and same-sex couples. (<a href="https://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org/congressional-scorecard" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Source</a>)Refusal of Care Rule (Cole amendment to H.R. 2740): McAdams voted for the Cole amendment to strike the provision blocking the Trump administration's rule allowing health care providers to put personal beliefs above patients' health and safety. The amendment failed 192-230, with only three Democrats voting yes. (<a href="https://reproductivefreedomforall.org/vote/enforcing-the-refusal-of-care-rule/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Source</a>)H.R. 20, No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act of 2019: McAdams cosponsored this bill (one of only two Democrats to do so), which prohibits the use of federal funds for abortions or for health coverage that includes abortions.

Take On Trump and MAGA Republicans

<h4>When Nate moved to Utah at 19, he came with a passion for the great outdoors and the range of opportunities for young people that no other state has to offer.</h4>He is a proud graduate of Salt Lake Community College and University of Utah. After a health scare right out of school, Nate found himself juggling student loan debt, even relying on SNAP just to get by. After earning a degree in Public Affairs, he worked to bring renewable solutions to bring down the cost of energy for Utah families.&nbsp; In 2022, Nate beat a 36-year incumbent State Senator by over 50 points. He now serves in the State Senate, where he fights for progressive causes in a chamber where too many of our party prioritize deal-making over values. Nate is proud of being labeled a "punk" after standing up to Republican leadership and getting his mic cut off on the Senate floor on numerous occasions. He and his wife Jackie, a lifelong Utahn from Murray who practices law here in Salt Lake City, recently bought their first home in Millcreek.This race is about whether we meet this moment with courage -- because we’re not going to beat Donald Trump and the billionaires buying influence in Washington unless we’re willing to fight.

In the Utah Senate, Nate has been speaking truth to power, even having his mic cut and being called a punk by Republicans for standing up for LGBTQ Utahns and women seeking reproductive care. Endorsed by Bernie Sanders, Nate will fight Trump like he fights the Republicans in Utah, push for Medicare for All, tax the billionaires, abolish ICE, stop the genocide in Gaza, and he’ll never take a dime in corporate PAC money.</li><li>Nate Blouin has been a leader in the fight against ICE. He sponsored the ICE Out legislation in the State Senate to stop masked federal agents from trampling on the rights of our neighbors and tearing families apart. In Congress, Nate will fight to hold ICE agents and the heads of ICE criminally accountable for their illegal actions and fight to abolish ICE so no one can use the agency to terrorize our communities again.</li><li>Ben McAdams has taken thousands of dollars from ICE contractors while voting to repeatedly increase funding for Trump’s ICE while in Congress. After they wrote him checks, McAdams voted to increase ICE funding by nearly $33 billion dollars.&nbsp;</li><li>McAdams even voted to arm Trump’s ICE agents with military grade weapons that they’re using to terrorize and abduct people in cities across the country, and raid schools, hospitals, and places of worship.</li></ul><h2 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mBM8sYgVhvlMLmHBu0E6KcpHuHfpeI5F?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Media Kit</a></h2>

Issues

<h3>Take Corporate Money Out of Politics </h3>Citizens United opened our election system to a flood of untraceable corporate money that has presented an unprecedented risk to our democracy. As a candidate for Congress I refuse to take corporate PAC money. Democracy should not be for sale, corporations are not people, and money is not speech <h3>Reform the Criminal Justice System </h3>It is unacceptable that America has the largest prison population in the world. I will fight to end the War on Drugs, mandatory minimum sentencing and cash bail, solitary confinement, and take steps to abolish the private prison system that prioritizes profits over rehabilitation. <h3>Fight for National Gerrymandering Reform </h3>Over 70% of congressional districts in America do not have competitive general elections. The health of our democracy is at stake unless we fix this and let voters choose their elected officials, not the other way around.

<h3>Pass the Equality Act </h3>Non-discrimination protections that apply to race, religion, and gender should be expanded to include the LGBTQ community. Passing the Equality Act would explicitly ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender. Enacting Medicare For All would also expand LGBTQ mental health services and protect trans health access. <h3>Protect The Right to Choose </h3>Women–not politicians–should be trusted to make personal healthcare decisions, particularly when it comes to starting a family. I strongly oppose Republican attacks on Planned Parenthood and life-saving healthcare for women across the country and support full repeal of the Hyde Amendment.

<h3>Preserve Public Lands </h3>Utah’s strength is its environmental assets: that’s why we need to strengthen the Clean Air Act and give the EPA the tools, funding and staff to enforce the law. I will fight to pass the Redrock Wilderness Act and secure funding to save Great Salt Lake. <h3>Pass the Green New Deal </h3>Passing the Green New Deal will transition our country away from fossil fuels and dramatically expand existing renewable power sources. It will also provide people across the country with the opportunity, training and education needed to participate fully and equally in a green economy, offering jobs to help rebuild our crumbling infrastructure.

<h3> Protect and Expand Social Security </h3>Millions of Americans rely on Social Security to keep them from slipping into poverty. I will stand up for this critical program and the Americans it supports. This means keeping it out of the hands of Wall Street, protecting benefits from garnishment as a result of student loan debt, and expanding existing benefits to keep up with the cost of living. <h3>Tax the Billionaires </h3>A billionaire could spend $10,000 every day for 273 years and still not run out of money. We need to comprehensively reform the tax system so it benefits working people and ensures the top 1%, Wall Street, and large corporations pay their fair share. <h3>Support Affordable Public College and Trade School </h3>High tuition costs have put college and trade schools out of reach for too many Utahn’s and millions of Americans are saddled with a lifetime of student loan debt. I support capping tuition, banning predatory student loans, and increasing public funding for higher education so everyone has a path to a degree and end the equity gap in higher education. <h3>Ensuring Affordable Housing and Protecting Renters and Homeowners </h3>We must take action to provide stable, affordable housing to everyone. I will fight to pass legislation to curb rent increases through the Place to Prosper Act, stop unjust evictions, and provide protection and mortgage relief for homeowners. <h3>Secure a Living Wage </h3>No one who works full time should live in poverty. Today’s full-time minimum wage employee with a family of three earns significantly below the federal poverty line. That is unacceptable. I support raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to at least $15 an hour while tying minimum wage to inflation. <h3>Enact Medicare for All </h3>The ACA expanded coverage and access to affordable, quality health care for millions of Americans. At the same time, millions more of our fellow citizens remain uninsured and now MAGA Republicans are fighting to raise premiums for those at the edge of losing coverage and care. Health care is a human right and passing Medicare for All will ensure that greedy pharmaceutical and health insurance companies can’t put their profits above your health.

Build An Economy That Works for Every One

This race is about whether we meet this moment with courage -- because we’re not going to beat Donald Trump and the billionaires buying influence in Washington unless we’re willing to fight.
