Hi, I'm Ben

From working as a UTA bus driver to managing Democratic campaigns, I have first hand experience of the day-to-day struggles of working families as well as the broader threats to our democratic institutions. That’s why I know that "business as usual" is no longer an option.
​
As Executive Director of the Salt Lake County Democratic Party, I modernized the Party’s digital presence and led a successful coordinated campaign that protected all our incumbents and elected Suzanne Harrison to the Salt Lake County Council. In 2024, I managed three winning campaigns, including electing Natalie Pinkney, the first Black woman to the Salt Lake County Council, Sheila Srivastava, who flipped the County Treasurer's office for Democrats, and Rosalba Dominguez who won a competitive State House seat. These victories proved that Democrats can win - even in challenging environments.
​
With a Master's in Public Administration and seven years of experience in campaign management, government service, and community organizing, I bring both fresh energy and proven results to the fight for Utah's future.
​
At this defining moment in the history of our state and nation, Utahns need leadership that is prepared to build a party infrastructure that can meet these challenges head-on. My vision is for a Democratic Party that works year-round, builds lasting community connections, and fights every day to protect our democratic institutions. We need more than just election-year campaigns – we need a movement that's ready to stand up against extremism and fight for a future where every Utahn has access to affordable healthcare, housing, transportation, and a voice in their government.
