Letter: What next? A Democrat representing us in Congress! Are you kidding me?

(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) Katharine Biele, left, president of the Utah Chapter of the League of Women Voters, speaks as plaintiffs from a redistricting lawsuit hold a news conference outside Third District Court in Salt Lake City, Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2025. A judge selected a map proposed by the plaintiffs to be the 2026 congressional boundaries.

The very idea that the people would like to have a voice in Utah government is as offensive as it gets. I know the state Constitution allows for ballot initiatives but those were never meant for the people to use. Those are merely playthings for us. You see, we are the only ones supposed to draft them, then we hire people to dupe others into signing them, and then you the people can just sit down and obey our laws.

What next? A Democrat representing us in Congress! A Democrat! Are you kidding me?

This is our state. You just live here!

Your fantasy state representative and registered Republican,

John Whipple, Salt Lake City
