Nate's Legislative Record

The Long Road to Passing Good Policy

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.
