Brian King is a husband, father, grandfather, and attorney running to serve as your next Governor. In his legal career, Brian sues some of the biggest insurance companies in the world on behalf of people who have had claims wrongfully denied. He is proud to have spent decades representing the interests of everyday people against powerful corporations. Brian’s work representing District 23 in the Utah House of Representatives for the last 16 years has had a similar focus: representing the people and fighting for their interests against entrenched politicians, influential special interest groups, and giant corporations. He’s no stranger to a David vs. Goliath battle, and, as Governor, he will advocate for Utahns who are being left behind. Brian believes that Utahns deserve better, and he’s running to put results over rhetoric and public service over personal interests. Brian is building a coalition of pragmatists, made up of Utahns from all political affiliations and backgrounds. If you’re tired of the division, the extremism, and the chaos, and if you’re looking for a leader who will always stand up for what’s right, then join us — for the better. 875 S Donner Way #1504

I am Austin Hepworth, and I am unaffiliated with the parties as the Attorney General should serve as a check and balance. The AG should simply enforce the law, without politics or direction from the governing party as conflicts naturally arise. We can help strengthen America's foundation by promoting the rule of law—without favoritism, politics, or conflicts—by electing an independent AG. The AG is tasked with enforcing the law in the courts. The rule of law forms the basis for what makes our country successful, instead of the whims of the current elected official. As laws must pass through a system of checks and balances, the law should be the governing force in America instead of the monarchy that the Founders were under. I am a Utah native, with strong Utah values. I love our country and our Constitution, and I believe that our best days are still ahead. We can make a difference, and by voting differently this election, we can break out of the degrading cycle we are currently experiencing in politics. Accountability, transparency, and independence in the AG's office will help spread good that permeates the rest of Utah’s government, for the better.

Michelle Quist is an accomplished litigator and appellate lawyer with a goal of getting party politics out of Utah’s Attorney General’s Office. She believes that politics should have no place in law enforcement. With over two decades of legal experience, Michelle began her career at a prominent Wall Street law firm in 2000, clerked for a federal appellate court judge, and has held appointments by the Governor and the Utah Supreme Court on various court-related committees. Michelle’s office priorities include attracting and retaining top legal talent, modernizing outdated technology, and ensuring transparency in operations. Her policy goals focus on protecting women and children, supporting law enforcement, and tackling government corruption. She is especially concerned about the Legislature’s recent proposal to limit Utahns' ability to use the initiative process for government reform. She firmly opposes this power grab and stands with voters' rights. If you are ready for change in an office plagued by years of scandal, consider voting for an independent third-party candidate—Michelle Quist for Attorney General—committed to serving the people of Utah and not national political agendas.

I am running for the Utah State House of Representatives to take the forefront stance of defending our Constitutional way of life and our moral foundation allocated by The Declaration of Independence. I am a dedicated supporter of personal, religious, and national freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. As a veteran of the Armed Forces, I swore an oath to “protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies…” As such I hold that the Constitution of the United States of America is: 1. The supreme law of the land, not to be hindered by any court system that would try to push against or ignore it. 2. The most crucial legal document ever to be written by mortal man and the best pattern of government. 3. Built upon the original intentions and the foundation of The Declaration of Independence and that they are inseparable documents. 4. The best protection of States Rights when properly applied. Clearly stated, any powers not specifically delegated to the Federal government is "reserved to the states respectively, or to the people." (10th Amendment)
