Martin Luther King Day

In mid 2022, our small team launched SeniorsForMikeLee.com. We noticed that seniors were not being strongly considered in the Utah Senatorial campaigns, and wanted to give the seniors of Utah a voice during that election. We interviewed and posted the thoughts of many seniors. They weren’t are words, they were yours. And they were effective.

Not only did Senator Lee handily win his campaign, but our team was recognized with a 2023 Pollie Award for our print ads, which is like receiving an Oscar in the world of political advertising.

During this election cycle, where, in our opinions, many of the candidates did not match our values and expectations, we put forward Senator Lee in a new campaign called Mike Lee for U.S. president. It has been our honor to see that we have many loyal readers, and thank you for your visits.

Recently, the glue of our team and the director of our project passed away from complications with cancer. We were planning on winding down this project as we got closer to Election day, but this heartbreaking loss to our team means that this will be our last post.

We selected Senator Lee because he is fearless in standing for correct values and believes that the Constitution was inspired document and is still the foundation of our country. We invite each of you to likewise be fearless in standing for those things that you believe and that will help America stay strong in its Constitutional roots.

So again, thank you for joining us. All the best.

Thank you Senator Lee, for initiating Senate Bill 1405 regarding the Bear’s Ears Monument. We have Seniors with property in San Juan County, and we feel this will not only help them, but provide additional funding for schools in Utah as well. To read the bill, please click here.

Just another note from Dulcie Ann from Utah county: “I think Senator Lee should run for president, because I think he’s decent!”

Mike Lee should run for president. He’s right on the money. Thank you for visiting! Please visit us again on July 24, Utah Pioneer Day for more updates.

Senator Mike Lee is receiving a lot of attention this week about his comments on the possible government shutdown. He has remained steadfast on his position that it is both important to keep the government open, but not use the threats of these shutdowns to pass sneaky and unnecessary future spending bills. Here are some of his most recent comments:

On Twitter/X: “When it comes to spending bills, Republican leadership in the Senate has proven really effective at three things: 1. Uniting Democrats. 2. Dividing Republicans. 3. Keeping lobbyists happy. This must come to an end.:

In another stinging rebuke on Twitter/X he wrote: “We could have easily had this debate months ago, but the Law Firm (currently organized as “Schumer, McConnell, McCarthy and Jeffries”) has long preferred to wait until the last minute to make an aggressive push to pass spending bills. When we approach the end of September…, The Firm then insists on writing its own legislation in secret, often revealing it to members of Congress for the first time only 48 hours before a long-scheduled shutdown window. This pattern has repeated itself over and over again. It always ends the same way—avoiding a shutdown, but producing deficits in the trillions of dollars, and empowering The Firm each time it happens. This, in short, is perhaps the single biggest reason why we’re $33 trillion in debt.”

He is not pro-shutdown, however. On a Fox News Interview: “I think a government shutdown is possible. I think it’s avoidable, I think we should avoid it,” Lee said. “I think the best way to proceed at this point is to pass something that keeps the government funded for a few weeks.”

We recognized his efforts in this arena a year ago, and produced a newspaper ad under our previous Organization name, “Seniors for Mike Lee.” This ad won a prestigious national Pollie Award in April of this year. It is just as relevant today as it was last year:

Mike Lee should run for president. He’s right on the money.
