Don't look up...

John, The brown blanket is here—consider this a battle cry. photo by E P Kosmicki ©2021 When we think about festive colors of the holiday season, brown definitely doesn't come to mind. Unfortunately in Utah, it's one of our staples as the dreaded winter inversion settles over …

This kind of impact is unique

John, It’s unusual for a young organization to be making the headlines and headway o2 Utah has, but at just two years old, it is proving itself a powerful force in our state. By taking the unique approach of involving itself in primaries, especially GOP primaries, o2 Utah has …

Drink cider. Learn about RCV. Help the climate.

Hey John, Did you know one of the biggest impacts you can have on improving air quality and addressing climate change is by voting for candidates that take the issue seriously? This year, 23 cities across the state have adopted ranked choice voting (RCV) as the method to condu…

Why I Founded O2 Utah

Hi John, When I ran for mayor of Salt Lake City in 2019, I ran on a bold air quality platform. This is an issue deeply personal to me. Like many of you, I wake up far too often not knowing if it’s going to be safe for my daughter to spend time outside, playing with her sister …
