“As a young voter in Utah, it is discouraging to see candidates who seem out of touch with the issues we care about,” writes Rodrigo Fernandez-Esquivias.
We need a candidate who understands our struggles, who is present in our communities and who will fight for progress.
Another example of Maloy’s misguided priorities appears in her discussion of gun control. As many students like myself can attest, the possibility of an active shooter has become one of the most stressful parts of going to school. I do not believe Celeste Maloy understands our fear, given her staunch opposition to gun control legislation.
As is commonplace with such candidates, young Democrats will vote for her because we have to, not because we want to. I just can’t help but wonder what would happen if the Utah Democratic Party connected with their most often overlooked base — young voters — and selected a candidate who not only had a fighting chance in our state but exuded the passion and progressivism we need to get young voters to the polls.
