We live in the wealthiest country in the history of the world, yet we’re constantly told we can’t afford the basics. We’re told universal healthcare is too expensive, even though working families already pay far too much just to navigate private insurance. We’re told clean energy is unrealistic, even though it’s now cheaper than fossil fuels and creates clean, good-paying jobs. We’re told we can’t raise wages, even as corporations post record profits and executives take home record pay.These aren’t failures of resources, they’re failures of priorities. As Martin Luther King, Jr., said we all too often have socialism for the rich and rugged free enterprise capitalism for the poor.As your Representative, I will fight every day to make life more affordable and more secure for working-class Utahns. I’ll fight for universal healthcare because no one should go bankrupt for getting sick. I’ll fight for clean energy because it’s good for our economy and our future. And I’ll fight for higher wages and stronger labor protections because anyone who works hard deserves a fair shot at a good life.There's nothing wrong with America that can't be fixed by what is right with America. It’s time to reject politics that serves only the wealthy and well-connected. I’m running to build an economy that works for everyone and to make sure our government works for the people it’s supposed to serve.We don't have to live like this anymore.We can make a new world, a better country, where we can fight for the dignity of all people.And it looks like living wages. It looks like stable housing. It looks like guaranteed health care. And it looks like respect for all of our differences, no matter who we are or where we come from.Enough is enough. Together, we can do better.

My family was comfortably middle class, back in the halcyon days when a household income of ~$100,000 could still provide stability and opportunity for a family of four.I've always loved reading books about history and politics (check out my <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/16246433-michael-farrell" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Goodreads</a> if so inclined), and I grew up knowing I wanted to be a public servant one day. I came of age during the Clinton and Bush presidencies, and saw how decisions in Washington could profoundly impact the lives of working class Americans. And most of the time what I saw was folks in Washington cutting the social safety net, prioritizing tax breaks for the wealthy, and spending billions of dollars on foreign wars while American families struggled to get by.Those lessons stuck with me. I believed government could and should work for working people. I dreamed of one day being a progressive voice in Congress, challenging special interests and working hard against career politicians who had lost touch with the people they were elected to serve.

We are working to put Michael in the House of Representatives, and we’re doing it face-to-face, in the community, with people who are ready for a change.Come meet us at the below events! And, if none of these work, shoot us a message, and we can coordinate getting together another time!

<h3>It's Time for Change</h3>And now, some twenty odd years later, looking at a different cast of villains (neo-liberals and neo-cons have morphed into feckless moderates and MAGAs), we see the same tired playbook of do-nothing-establishments and reverse Robin Hood economics, stealing from the middle class to fund foreign wars and tax cuts for the rich.&nbsp;Middle-class families are still being squeezed, while powerful corporations and special interests continue to benefit from an economy rigged in their favor. Too often, we're told to accept less while those at the top keep taking more and more.

Campaign Events

We're the richest country on Earth. We should invest more in ordinary people. That is what this campaign is about.

Page Intro

We can, in fact, have nice things. Our government should represent and advance working people’s material interests instead of catering to the wealthy and special interests. We're the richest country in the world. We can invest more in our people. That is what my campaign is about.

Utah loves to celebrate its pioneer story—ancestors who crossed borders and deserts fleeing persecution, searching for safety, faith and opportunity. We call that courage and grit. Today, however, as immigrants are hunted, detained and disappeared by an increasingly aggressive and unaccountable federal government, the values Utah claims are not the values its leaders are defending.

ICE is Out of Control

Michael Farrell explains in this op-ed in the Deseret News exactly how he plans to tax the ultra wealthy to fund an America that works for everyone.

Turn America's Tax System Upside Down to Tax the Rich

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

I've practiced tax law for over a decade, and I know how rigged the system is. I will work to close loopholes, simplify tax filing, raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy, and lower taxes for everyone else. Billionaires shouldn't pay a lower effective rate than working families.

Fair Taxes

U.S. Term Limits (USTL), the leader in the non-partisan national movement to limit terms for elected officials, praises 2026 U.S. House of Representatives candidate for Utah, Michael Farrell (district 1), for signing the pledge for an amendment to term limit Congress.

Strong Support in UT CD-01 Race for Congressional Term Limits

Michael Farrell is a young, energetic, first-time candidate running for the U.S. House of Representatives in Utah’s First Congressional District who wants to be a new, progressive voice for Utah. Farrell realizes that he’s a relatively new kid on the block, but don’t let that fool you. He’s been working hard to build his voice in the community.Read the full article at <a href="https://www.slugmag.com/community/michael-farrell-for-utah-an-office-open-to-all/">https://www.slugmag.com/community/michael-farrell-for-utah-an-office-open-to-all/</a>.

This moment represents a major shake-up in the race.“I would have said before this morning that it was absolutely a Ben McAdams, Nate Blouin race and not a lot of confounding variables. But women in that district might have feelings that they didn't have yesterday.”

Women must control their own healthcare decisions. LGBTQ+ Americans deserve full legal protection. I will fight for&nbsp;federal reproductive rights protections&nbsp;and passage of the&nbsp;Equality Act.

Healthcare should be affordable, universal, and simple. I support Medicare for All by lowering the age of Medicare eligibility to zero. This will lower costs for families and employers, free workers from job-locked healthcare, and help small businesses thrive.

Healthcare for All

Worker Representation on Corporate Boards

"These comments … are offensive and personally hurtful to us and to the people we represent," Blouin's Democratic colleagues in the Legislature wrote in a statement that called his posts "beyond unacceptable."Meanwhile, Michael Farrell, a Democrat who is running against Blouin, called on him to withdraw from the race.

"Vulgar" comments surface in the primary for Utah's new Democratic district

Michael Farrell said the newly surfaced posts "grossed him out" and he believes Blouin should drop out of the race."This reflects who Nate is, despite any political bullshit he's putting out now," Farrell said. "It's all well and fine to apologize, but I don't think we need to send someone to Congress who jokes about child pornography. Where's the joke?"

Michael Farrell expresses his disgust with recently revealed comments from Nate Blouin that denigrated Latter-day Saints and used offensive slurs.

Utah Democratic candidate denigrated Latter-day Saints, made crude comments in past posts

“It’s all well and fine to apologize for saying these things, but Nate is obviously not fit to serve in elected office,” Farrell said. The post about filming an underage sister should be “disqualifying from holding public office” and voters should be “removing the Epstein class from politics, not electing folks like Nate Blouin,” a reference to the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
