Casserole Caucus

Utah Politics, Served Hot.

Pull up a chair. Welcome to the place where a fellow Utahn talks about politics that affect everyday life.

This is where I share my perspective as a fellow Utahn—thoughtful, honest, and grounded in everyday experience. Politics can feel complicated, but here we focus on what really matters for our communities and our state.

Think of this as a front porch conversation: approachable, reflective, and personal. No insider secrets, no endless debate, just ideas and opinions you can understand, consider, and relate to.

Casserole Caucus is my space to share what I see and think about Utah politics. I write about the people making decisions, the ideas being discussed, and how it all affects life in our communities.

Like a neighbor bringing over a hot meal or dessert, I aim to serve observations and opinions that are warm, honest, and easy to take in. Some weeks the topics are spicy, some weeks they are comforting, but they are always meant to give perspective, spark thought, and feel like a conversation over the fence.

The Great Salt Lake Doesn’t Need Ideas. It Needs Water.

Utah doesn’t have the luxury of choosing easy answers for the Great Salt Lake. The lake is too low, the science is too clear and the stakes are too high. What we need now is not a single solution, but a workable plan that reflects how water actually moves through this state. The reality sits…
