Advancing Democracy

When we understand our government’s structure under the Constitution, we are empowered to make more informed choices.

Project 2025 outlines a restructuring of federal government agencies to consolidate executive power.

We can support the peaceful transition of presidential power by advocating for a process with wisdom and order overarching.

We respect presidents who exercise their pardoning power with wisdom, care, and “prerogative of mercy," and we oppose pardons otherwise.

A group of electors called the Electoral College makes the final choice for U.S. president and vice president.

By removing the checks and balances that are a fundamental part of our democracy, Project 2025 seeks to shift the balance of power.

Eliminating Utahns' ability to have fair and independent redistricting is an attempt to stamp out our ability to check their power.

On July 1, 2024, the Supreme Court ruled on presidential immunity in response to former President Trump’s federal indictment.

This unanimous Utah Supreme Court decision upholds the will of the people. We look to the future with hope.

Campaign finance plays a central role in the democratic process. Elections can’t happen without campaigns, and campaigns costs money.

Americans of diverse political ideologies support campaign finance reforms. Small acts of advocacy can go a long way in encouraging change.

Good policy reform can help create a campaign finance system that is more transparent and accountable to voters.

Because of insufficient transparency requirements and the rise of dark money, we don’t always know who is paying for political ads.

Administrative agencies are a powerful but underappreciated component of federal, state, and local government.

MWEG began advocating for an update to the Electoral Count Act in July 2021 and continued working on this until it passed in Dec. 2022.
