We held a town hall on June 9, 2026 for two sets of candidates who will be on the Democratic primary ballot on June 23: (1) Congressional District 1; and (2) Salt Lake County District Attorney. Five candidates attended: Liban Mohamed, Nate Blouin, Michael Farrell, Sim Gill and Shawn Robinson. The discussion was moderated by Rae Duckworth (of Black Lives Matter - Utah chapter), En Canada (of the Wasatch Assembly), and Amani Khader (of the 71 Percent Coalition).
Here is a link to the recording on our YouTube channel. (Unfortunately, the sound cut out at the start of the YouTube recording of the “Question to Ben McAdams” which opened the CD-01 segment of the town hall. You can hear the full version of that question in this TikTok post.)
The town hall was cosponsored by nine other organizations: Black Lives Matter (Utah chapter), Green Wave Utah, Wasatch Assembly, Women’s Caucus of the Utah Democratic Party, Healthcare Workers for Palestine, Local CWA 7765, Church of Protest, Utah Jews for Palestine, and the Nuanua Collective.
