Run for Office
The UDLC is looking for and recruiting lawyers who are Democrats to run for state and local office. “Lawyers have valuable skills and perspective that are sorely needed at this critical time in state and local government. They can ably represent the true interests of our citizenry and can demand accountability from all elected officials,” said UDLC president, Blaine Carlton. Currently the Republican Party has a super majority in both houses of the state legislature. This super majority is not healthy and has led to allegations by a number of public interest groups and the state Democratic Party that state boards and agencies are abusing their powers. We must restore a strong, two-party system to eliminate abuse of power and to bring rationality to the legislative process. Balance is needed but that can only happen if you get involved. Please consider running for office or help us by finding qualified candidates and help them get elected. If you are interested or know someone who is, please call Blaine Carlton at (801) 523-6283.
