Have any fellow Utah state representatives or other politicians endorsed Phil Lyman?

I visited Phil Lyman's website and looked at his endorsements, but didn't see the names of any politicians. Have any currently serving politicians endorsed Lyman?

Governor Spencer Cox is on a Power Trip

On the same Day that the Governor and the Legislature announced their power grab Proposition D to essentially backdoor the legislative process and cement himself in power, he also announced a 100 Million Acre land grab lawsuit against the U.S Federal Government. Now in the most Communist-esque fashion, the state is paying taxpayer dollars on YouTube Ads trying to justify this said land grab, all while using the backdrops of our states beautiful land to instill his message. This reeks of propaganda and gives off Cold War vibes. I don’t know who in the state thought it was a good idea to do this but it goes to show how the State Government is willing to massively spend on wasteful things like YouTube ads rather than to pay for welfare for Utah citizens or to fix our roads, build more schools, hell anything at this point. The inflation and cost of living is at an all time high, and the state makes living here as a poor person essentially impossible. The state does nothing while prices of rent, energy, and food sky-rise and people are dying on the streets. Literally. As a Republican, this is a warning for you Governor Spencer Cox. Stop letting the state burn itself to ruins or you’re gonna lose the red vote. Rich corporatist Mormon politicians assume that all these issues are only a “blue issue” or that “only democrats are poor”, here’s a news flash. If the prices of everything is going up but the minimum wage and the pay rate stays the same, where is all the money going to????? The corporations. You can boast about how you care about businesses and the economy, but that does nothing to help the workers and the people struggling off welfare who aren’t even receiving their benefits despite being eligible by the state. And for the people who aren’t eligible to be shoed away to the churches for a small chance of getting aid if they “keep paying tithes” is absolutely ridiculous. How is it constitutional for the Mormon church to still be tax exempt and investing billions in the stock market, while being so deeply embedded into the state government and politics. And for DWS to lie and state they don’t pass on welfare obligations to community organizations when everyone who has ever tried to apply for LIHEAP or HEAT programs cause the energy costs are too damn high as it is without a rate hike, you would know that they force you to apply through the Utah Community Action (an NGO). This state and its failed policies make California look like heaven. Also don’t get me started on the increase in crime under Spencer Cox, the wolf in republican clothing. Spencer does not represent us Republicans, the state ones or the National ones. He is an abomination to the Republican Party just like his failed buddy Mitt Romney who lost because he’s an unelectable turd who no one likes, similarly to Spencer Cox. We are voting with our wallets and our ballots and we’re voting against these corporatists who sell themselves out to these Corporations that don’t give a crap if we starve to death or not. Clearly the state capitol building is such an echo chamber that they thought Proposition D would actually be liked and popular enough to get voted in, when in reality no one outside of that building is going to vote in favor of this Proposition.

Vote NO on Proposition D Vote Against incumbents who raise the cost of living

Let’s show these shills that there’s a lot more people than there are politicians in this state and we are all united as Dems and Republicans against this.

Hi, we're the official Reddit account for Democrats Abroad and we're doing an AMA about how eligible Utahns living overseas can participate in the 2024 election!

Democrats Abroad is the only Democratic Party organization advocating for American citizens living outside of the U.S. Since 1964, we've been working to increase the political representation of Americans working, studying and living overseas.

In addition to our activism, we also organize volunteers and fun social events. Importantly, we're encouraging all eligible citizens to VOTE in 2024! If any readers of r/Utahpolitics have eligible friends, family or personal contacts who are currently outside the U.S. please feel free to share the VoteFromAbroad.org link with them! If you know a student who has gone overseas and if they'll be 18 by election day, then they're eligible to vote. Feel free to send them a link to our students.votefromabroad.org site.

...And feel free to ask me anything. Thanks for your time.

As California AG, Kamala Harris refused to defend Prop 8 in court (the LDS-funded ban of marriage equality in her state). Weird how “constitutional leadership” comes into focus in hindsight. Almost as if she’d already seen around the same corner that our Supreme Court only later eventually did.

Seriously?? Are Utahns that dumb?

How are there candidates that are leaning so heavily on a 34x convicted felon? What is wrong with the Utahn electorate?

Physical custody and The Franke children

What is Utahs protocol physical custody regarding the Franke children being placed outside the home rather than their dad Kevin? I’m surprised that Kevin Franke has to file for custody when he and Ruby had the children while they were married
