Letters To The Editor

Belmont will be crucial voice by Vonda Jump Norman

As a water and landscape scientist who is used to looking at all facts before making a decision, Patrick will be a critical voice in the Utah Legislature as they grapple with issues that concern our future: economic stability, housing costs, water, and air quality. His platform is all about the need for us to come together to talk about big issues when there is disagreement.

A vote of support for Belmont by Jean Lown

I support independent candidate Patrick Belmont for Utah House District 3. The 2024 session demonstrated why we need better balance in our legislature. District 3 is an extreme example of gerrymandering with the 13-mile gap between Logan and Richmond, carved out so current legislators could choose their voters rather than voters choosing their legislators.

Vote for someone who understands the climate by Pat Sadoski

It is time we look at our behaviors and begin to remedy our problems. That is why I am voting for Independent Patrick Belmont to represent me. Patrick is a climate scientist, educator and community.

Consider Patrick Belmont by Katie Lee-Koven

It would behoove us, as citizens, to consider what expertise areas we are missing amongst our legislators and vote strategically so that the right people have a seat at the table. Not surprisingly, we have a lot of successful businessmen and women, but we also need subject matter experts.

Vote Belmont for state legislature by Jack Greene

With the winter inversion (bad air) soon setting in, a shrinking Great Salt Lake, and continued political divide, we could use some help in the State House. Thinking candidate Patrick Belmont.

Vote for experts by Charles Ashurst

I've got nothing against having realtors and car salesmen in our Utah Legislature, but we also need people with credentials in such important fields as climate science, for example. That's why I support the candidacies of Patrick Belmont for Utah Legislator and also Nancy Huntly for Utah Senator in our state legislature.

Please vote by Nov. 5 by Parker Faux

The simple fact is this election will be decided by you, the undecided voter, the centrist, the apolitical, the disengaged, the disinterested.

Blaming Democrats for hurricanes is ‘crazy’ by Elizabeth Dennison

The positive thing is that there are a lot of experts out there who know what we can do now. There are solutions, if we just have the will to do what it takes to implement them. It will take giving up some things in our daily lives. I am encouraged by some of ideas and solutions new creative minds are coming up with.

Vote to protect our water by Shelly Nazer

His policies on water management, clean energy, and community building will have a positive impact across the region and throughout the whole state. If elected, I believe he will bring people together to find real solutions for the Great Salt Lake and the many other multifaceted challenges we face.

Vote for fair and equal representation by Carol Rosenthal

I am voting for independent Patrick Belmont for Utah House District 3. Patrick has demonstrated intelligence, authenticity, ethics, and integrity - all badly needed in the Utah Legislature.

Reader has some questions by Nick Eastmond

How can the voting districts used in this year’s election continue without following the Independent Redistricting Commission recommendations made in 2021? Isn’t this gerrymandering pure and simple?

Vote for Belmont by Angela Wyatt

Patrick has demonstrated a passion for addressing the challenges we currently face safeguarding our natural resources. His goals to protect public land and preserve open spaces, convert to clean energy, support clean air legislation, and protect our water show that he truly cares for those he would represent. His vision for a stronger, more inclusive Utah is one that resonates deeply with the values of our community.

¿Por qué la gente apoya a Patrick?

It's time for better balance in the Utah Legislature. Partisan politics isn't working. As an Independent, Patrick will do what's best for all of his constituents, regardless of party affiliation.

Laurie McNeill

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

Patrick is the critical thinking, problem solving candidate we need for the Utah Legislature. He is spot on that the left vs right stuff isn't working for us and we need an independent voice to better represent the people, not a party.

Molly Jones

Elsewhere in Utah

Patrick was one of my professors last year at USU. His passion for education, open minded approach to tackling complex issues, and appreciation for Cache Valley's unique and beautiful environment make Patrick an excellent choice to represent our area

Taylor Hanslovan

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

In an time of deep political division, Patrick stands out as an inspiring community builder and visionary problem solver who prioritizes people over politics every time. His boundless energy, insight, and expertise have fueled his decades-long commitment to enhancing both local and global communities. Leaders like Patrick—wise, principled, informed, and deeply dedicated—are exactly what the Utah legislature needs to facilitate meaningful dialogue and achieve common-sense solutions that benefit all Utahns.

Chrissy Richards

Elsewhere in Utah

Creating a science-based water policy will be critical to Utah's future. Patrick will bring his expertise to the legislature and his deliberative skills to all aspects of policymaking.

Rep Rosemary Lesser, MD

Elsewhere in Utah

Voting for Patrick for me means voting for someone is genuine in their intentions. Someone who truly wants better for humans and the planet. I’m happy to be able to vote for Patrick!

Emma Artist

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

It is time to get rid of the one- party (Republican) representation in the Utah legislature and also vote in more people who oppose and do NOT endorse Trump for anything. I ran for this same office 2times against incumbent Loraine Pace; received 39+% of the vote - worked hard and felt eventually someone would come along and beat the Republican stronghold . I am a registered Democrat, but I think Patrick has the best chance to win this seat; the best message and background to carry through. I retired in 2018 after 50 years in education. I have been a teacher, mentor, union president, administrator, and was elected to Logan City School Board.I don’t think any of the representatives for this district have really done anything significant for education, equality for all, protection of women’s right to make reproductive decisions without the government watch dog barking out extremist views; endorsement by Planned Parenthood is significant. “We are not going back”. I believe Patrick is honest, sincere, and working hard to make a real difference - not just win the seat and settle back and follow the Republican agenda. So excited to vote for Patrick Belmont.

Connie J Morgan

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

I’m endorsing Patrick Belmont because I truly believe he’s the best for our district. He cares about the people. He’s engaged with the community and he has what it takes to lead us in the right direction. Not only does he talk the talk he walks the walk.

Gabriella Kennedy

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

Utah and Cache Valley need a representative like Patrick. The nearly single party rule of our state house continually fails the citizenry. It's time for a real change. Patrick will be a strong voice to help enact that change our state needs.

Steve Cracroft

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

We need more people like him with experience in Science

KathyM

We need an expert in water science and solutions to work on our very real water issues in this state. Patrick is the person for the job. He cares deeply about this state and cares deeply about all of us who live here.

Lisa Ward

I’m an independent and agree with what he is running on

Mason Beesley

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

Scientific expertise

Curt Canning

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

It's simple, really. Patrick Belmont is the one candidate for the Utah House of Representatives who is committed to listening to his constituents and not be beholden to a political party. He comes across as thoughtful and attentive, which is very different from many of those who are currently in the Utah House. We need such a person in the Legislature now because the issues Utah faces are complex and require awareness.

Bryan Dixon

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

Here in Utah, we are facing so many big challenges such as water constraints, air quality, housing, and economic stability. Patrick is the best person by far to address these issues because of his ability to research an issue, weigh the options, and identify the best possible solutions. Also, he's such a nice guy!

Sara Goeking

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

I trust Patrick to be an independent and rational voice for Northern Utah residents. More than ever, we need his expertise in the legislature.

Mike Mudrow

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

Patrick is honest, hard working, and knowledgeable. All of the things you want representing you.

Shannon Rhodes

Elsewhere in Utah

Utah needs the balanced and thoughtful perspectives that Patrick Belmont will bring to the legislative process. He will help Utah protect the quality of its environment and economy. His expertise will be invaluable for informing debate on key issues Utah faces, especially related to water.

Joanna Endter-Wada

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

I met him last election and I asked him a question about river access for anglers. He didn’t have the answer but he called me a week later with information. I met him again this election and he is very professional. I also like how he has no ties to real estate or other big business in Utah.

Zak Kropf

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

Patrick Belmont is an actual water expert who can solve difficult issues with the Great Salt Lake and he is especially committed to strengthening our community!

Shelly Nazer

I’ve seen what Patrick can do as a leader. He’s smart, passionate, and fair. He’s dedicated to making Utah a better and more healthy place to live. I particularly appreciate how well he communicates science to the public.

Joyce Kinkead

Elsewhere in Utah

Patrick Belmont will bring a new perspective to the Utah Legislature. We have enough real estate developers, business owners, and agriculture representation. Let's add a new voice to address the critical water, climate, and education issues that must be addressed for future Utahns. We need Patrick's perspective (and ethics!) in the Utah House of Representatives.

Jennefer Parker

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

He's smart, liberal-minded, and committed to making our valley, the state, the country, and the world more livable. Why wouldn't I vote for someone like this?

He is a down-to-earth person who wants to help our community.

Mollie Murphy

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

Patrick is amazing. He has given so much time to our community. He is a leader in the water discussion that needs to be happening at the state level. Patrick is a neighbor, friend and he is passionate about our state. I trust him, his level of experience, expertise and ability to get people together is evident. I support Patrick!

Stacie Hofmeister

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

Patrick Belmont has the knowledge to keep Utah's water supply safe and to make sure there is enough. He's not a 'career politician' and is not associated with the Republican party. I have met him and spoken with him, sharing my concerns, and he listened respectfully and responded like he recognized me as an intelligent human being.

Leah Adkins

Pat Bohm Trostle

Patrick is honest, caring and smart. He sees people as fellow community members - not republicans or democrats. In this time of divisive politics, Patrick Belmont is exactly who we need!

Kate Stephens

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

Patrick will be a hard worker for cache valley people in the legislature. He will work for what is right not for who will pay him the most.

Kathy Roberts

He knocked on my door and we had a good conversation

Ann Marie

Environment

David Wind

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

He is a principled person who has always run on rational approaches to what matters most. He cares about our lives, not the partisan BS. We need people who speak for us and will listen to us. Text him. Give him a message, he cares. Next, text his opponent. My guess is that this should tell you all you need to know.

Jeff O

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

Great for education. Great for the environment. Great for everybody.

Jessica Zsiray

Frank Ascione

Patrick Belmont is a watershed scientist and understands the factors that have led to our current water situation. I believe he will be able to help make the right choices and influence using empirical evidence based science.

Julia Sluiter

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

I am voting for independent Patrick Belmont for Utah House District 3. Patrick has demonstrated intelligence, authenticity, ethics, and integrity - all badly needed in the Utah Legislature. He has shown an understanding of significant issues that the Legislature refuses to address in meaningful, bipartisan ways, such as climate and water issues; housing; and true political consensus and recognition of constituents of all religious and political affiliations. He will represent everyone and strive for consensus and clarity so reasonable solutions can be discussed and presented. Importantly, Patrick recognizes Amendment D for the egregious attempt to strip voters of their rights and a blatant extremist attempt to create an autocratic Utah government that ignores the Constitution of Utah and the United States.

Carol Rosenthal

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

Patrick is the best option for our district and breaks up the red-blue dichotomy as a true independent. He acts with integrity and will be a voice of reason on capitol hill!

Daniel Carolan

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

He’s grassroots oriented and educated on the issues facing both the district & the state. He’s a good listener and he’s diplomatic.

Anne Shifrer

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

He will help our community and he already is learning what will be good for our community.

E Wilcox

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

It is time to elect an independent voice instead of a rubber stamp. Elect a water resources expert.

Jean Lown

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

He doesn't regard science as weird like JD Vance does.

Charles Ashurst

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

We need someone with his unique experience and knowledge,. He listens and he cares deeply about the future of Utah!

Katie Lee-Koven

Logan, Richmond, Cove, or River Heights (Patrick's District)

The Utah legislature needs diversity of opinion. The Utah legislature needs smart, thoughtful, and energetic representatives committed to finding a sustainable path forward for our state. Patrick will bring that energy and creativity to his work.
