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.
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 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.
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 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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!

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