Utahns are going to be hit by climate change harder than most Americans. If we’re going to fight climate change, we need someone in Congress who has a proven track record of delivering results.
That tells you what Washington actually prioritizes. I oppose the SAVE America Act, and I oppose any new restrictions on the right to vote. Lowering costs is my priority, and I'm ready to build on the progress we just made. Utah families deserve both.
It took 400 votes and a 10-day clock running out to get families relief on housing — and Trump still wouldn't sign it. It took House Republicans one day to find $73 billion for the Iran war and $10 billion for a voter suppression bill written by our own Sen. Mike Lee.
Donald Trump, at the encouragement of Senator Mike Lee, is taking away protections for lands that belong to all of us and giving special interests exactly what they want.
Planned Parenthood Action Fund just endorsed our campaign, and I'm honored to have their support. While politicians keep stripping away women's health decisions, I've spent my career defending them. I'll codify Roe and restore the life-saving care women have been denied since it was overturned.
Happy National Parks and Recreation Month! I’m proud to honor one of the things that make Utah such a great place to live—our beautiful parklands.
Thank you, Utah. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for Utah's 1st Congressional District.

As someone who has grown up and lived on Utah’s beautiful land, keeping it beautiful to enjoy today and for our descendants to enjoy tomorrow is one of my top priorities. Our land and environment are at a crossroads. We need a concrete action plan to save them, not vague ideas and grandstanding.
Throughout my career, I've never been afraid to take on big challenges or fights, as long as it’s the right thing to do for Utahns. From voting to impeach Donald Trump, supporting women’s access to reproductive healthcare, and leading the charge to pass Utah's first LGBTQ equality protections, (1/2)
When I decided to run, I promised my son I would continue to make mountain biking season a top priority. Tonight is the first team ride of the season and I'm reminded that public lands aren't an abstraction. They're where memories get made. That's what I'm fighting to protect.
Are you a young professional in our new district? Come to our meet and greet this Thursday at 5:30 PM to chat with Ben! RSVP for more details, including location. www.mobilize.us/benmcadamsfo...
Team Ben had a fantastic time celebrating at Utah Pride yesterday! To Utah’s LGBTQ+ community: we see you. You are a beloved part of this state’s rich cultural fabric, and we’ll continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you in the ongoing fight against discrimination.
In the face of escalating attacks, Utah needs a proven fighter for LGBTQ+ rights. If you elect me to Congress, I’ll continue to fight like I always have to ensure our community can continue to make an impact and be on the leading edge of American LGBTQ+ culture and activism. Happy Pride, Utah!
What an honor it was for me to march at Utah Pride today! Our new district is home to a thriving LGBTQ+ community, and it has been my great privilege to advocate for this community in local government, the Utah Legislature, and in Congress.
As election season kicks into high gear, there's no better time to spend a day with Team Ben. Check the link in our bio for more details on our upcoming events!
I'm so proud to have led the effort to secure non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ Utahns seeking equal protection when looking for housing and employment. Even when it was hard to build consensus, I worked across differences and fought for our LGBTQ+ community every step of the way.
Utah's educators know what's at stake in this election, and they know who's ready to fight for their students and their classrooms. As the son of a public school teacher, I'm so proud to have the endorsement of @aft.org Utah.
The House finally voted to check President Trump’s ability to wage his illegal war in Iran with a War Powers Resolution. Americans can’t keep picking up the tab for this war.
Utah voters: your primary ballots are in the mail! Here’s what you need to know: 1. Check your mailbox for your ballot: registered Democrats will have already received one. If you haven’t, you can request one by June 16. 2. Fill in the bubble next to “Ben McAdams” at the top of your ballot!
Pride is a noun & a call to action. The Trump Administration is rolling back protections, pitting ideology against our LGBTQ+ neighbors, and undoing decades of progress fought for with blood, sweat, & tears. We need a proven fighter who'll protect Utahns' right to love whomever we choose & proudly
I believe in a woman's right to choose. There's no spin here — I always have been. I've been called "radically" pro-abortion and have been endorsed by Planned Parenthood for my pro-choice record in the State Senate.
Join Team Ben this weekend for our upcoming events! Location and more details are available after RSVPing -- more details available at the link in our bio. See you there!
From the League of Conservation Voters to former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland to mayors, legislators, & advocates across Utah, the people who have spent their lives fighting for our land, air, and water are backing Ben because they know his record, and they know what he'll fight for in Washington.
