Peter Crosby and Blake Moore, candidates for Utah’s newly drawn 2nd congressional district (which includes Logan), debated last night at USU. Here’s the recording from the Utah Debate Commission:

I was really impressed with Crosby’s thoughtful answers on everything from data centers to flock cameras and affordability and quite disappointed by Moore’s non-answers on these important issues.
I don’t dispute that Moore has gotten some good things done for Utahns. But he has also been silent and complicit in the face of so many policies that are harming us- like tariffs and the Iran war.
As Crosby told reporters after the debate,
”I think a distinct difference between [Moore] and myself really is boiled down to [that] Blake Moore is fine with the path that we’re on. I’m not. And if we’re going to have something different happen, we need different representation.” (Salt Lake Tribune)
Ballots are arriving today. I’ll be voting for Peter Crosby, who hasn’t been bought by big tech like Moore has (e.g., see FEC filings on Meta and Google contributions to Blake Moore through the Super PAC “Defending Utah Values”).
I hope you will consider voting for Crosby too! He truly seems like a great candidate with strong moral character- and he’s our neighbor here in Cache Valley (note Moore does not live in our district, the one he is running for).
