(Bethany Baker | The Salt Lake Tribune) U.S. Senator Mike Lee speaks with attendees during the State Organizing Convention for the Utah Republican Party at Utah Valley University in Orem on Saturday, May 17, 2025.

Per a recent Deseret News item, Mike Lee says that independent redistricting commissions are “a strategy to give Democrats an edge they can’t win through fair elections.”

That is misinformation, Mike, because partisan gerrymandering makes elections unfair because many of us voters are denied having any voice at all. Since I think you are smart enough to know that, then you must be a liar, and a cheat, which seems to be a path highly rewarded in the GOP.

I hope all those folks who keep voting you into office finally realize that Mike Lee is all about Mike Lee and doesn’t have much interest in trying to represent any of us. He is demonstrating his true character and it is lacking in integrity and truthfulness. Vote him out!
