From the candidate herself:

I’m Caroline Gleich: a ski mountaineer, activist, and a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Utah. I’ve summited Everest, and my next climb is running for office.

Despite warnings that it could harm my career, I embarked on a mission to give back to the people and places that shaped my life.

From climbing mountains to advocacy, I’ve expanded my passion for sports into a platform for change.

Together, we can bring an ethic of care, compassion, and a desire to improve the lives of Americans. But I can’t do this alone: will you contribute $15 or more today?

Anytime a Democrat can win in a deep red state like Utah, I’m certainly onboard (though I don’t normally contribute).

My main concern here is that Trump beat Biden by more than 20 points in the state in 2020. As shown in the graphic below, most of Utah is actively repugnant to Gleich’s “ethic of care, compassion, and a desire to improve the lives of Americans.”

Most of these people, if they read her message at all, will translate it as “I’m a woke, radical leftist, who, if elected, will flood our country with vermin from the south, weaponize the justice system to criminally prosecute the greatest president the U.S. has ever had, and replace traditional American values with godlessness, access to abortion, softness on crime, and pornography in our schools.”

Today we had another “assassination attempt.”

Is it the fourth or the fifth? I lost track after his ear grew back.

Eventually, after perhaps 20 or 30, even the most dimwitted American will recognize that he’s been played.

Trump is a man of God like I’m a bald eagle.

I’ve often wondered why people like this German woman, an ultra-right-wing politician with no more training in this subject than my gardener, is taken more seriously than the many thousands of scientists who have been studying climate physics for all their adult lives.
