In 2020, I was the only Democrat to run in a contested race for state school board. In that race, I outperformed all but three Democrats running for office in my state board district.
I averaged 54% in West Valley City and averaged roughly 60% in the precincts where House District 31 now exists.
Additionally, I raised over $15,000 with (all from friends and supporters, not from the state or county parties), which was more than any other school board candidate had raised up to that point.
- Joe Biden–outperformed his vote total by 2.4484% districtwide
- Kael Weston (Congress-2)–outperformed his vote total by 5.5910% districtwide
- Ben McAdams (Congress 4)–barely underperformed his vote total districtwide by 0.4912%
- Chris Peterson (Governor)–outperformed his vote total by 7.8383%
- Greg Skordas (Attorney General)–outperformed his vote total by 4.9303%
- Luz Escamilla (Senate 1 at the time)–still got 54% in shared precincts but she got 58%
- Fatima Dirie (House 33 at the time)–outperformed her vote total by 7.7069%
- Jenny Wilson (Salt Lake County Mayor)–outperformed her vote total by 1.3792%
- Shireen Ghorbani–(SLCo Council at Large)–outperformed her vote total by 3.6959%
- Jennifer Fresques (SLCo Treasurer)–outperformed her vote total by 2.0300%
- Rashelle Hobbs (SLCo Recorder)–outperformed her vote total by 2.0466%
- Michael McDonald (SLCo Treasurer)–outperformed his vote total by 3.6573%
Unfortunately, I lost the race as a whole, because I did not do as well in the very conservative parts of the district (which included all of Tooele and Juab Counties as well), but I was able to effectively campaign (even during a pandemic year) and I will be walking to every door in House District 31 to win votes in 2024.
