Utah Democrats Elect New Leader to Drive Blue District Expansion
Salt Lake City, UT – The Utah Democratic Party has elected former lawmaker Jennifer Plumb as its new chair, aiming to boost the party’s presence in traditionally Republican-leaning districts. Plumb, who served in the Utah House from 2014 to 2018, vowed to revitalize grassroots organizing and increase voter engagement across the state.
In her acceptance speech, Plumb emphasized the importance of building a strong coalition to attract diverse demographics, particularly younger voters and marginalized communities. She acknowledged the challenges ahead but expressed optimism about the potential for change in Utah’s political landscape.
Plumb succeeds outgoing chair, Derek T. Kitchen, who stepped down after a critical election cycle. Her election comes at a time when the Democratic Party is focusing on strategic district mapping and fostering local leadership.
As part of her agenda, Plumb plans to launch initiatives aimed at addressing key issues such as healthcare, education, and environmental sustainability, positioning the party as a viable alternative in a predominantly red state.
Utah Democrats hope Plumb’s leadership will inspire greater participation and shift the balance of power in upcoming elections, marking a significant chapter in their ongoing efforts to create more competitive districts across Utah.
