Washington — Today, the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC (CPC PAC) announced it has endorsed Utah state Senator Nate Blouin in the June 23rd primary election for Utah’s 1st Congressional District.
“Nate Blouin is a climate advocate and state Senator with a strong track record of standing up for all Utah residents,” said CPC PAC Co-Chairs Pramila Jayapal, Greg Casar and Maxwell Frost. “In the Utah state Senate, Nate advocated for clean energy and better air quality, sponsored legislation to restore the Great Salt Lake and passed legislation to support grid-enhancing technologies. In Congress, Nate will be committed to passing the Green New Deal, expanding Social Security, championing Medicare for All and taking on corporate monopolies. We are proud to support his campaign and look forward to electing a progressive champion in Utah.”
“I’ve watched Republicans here in Utah dismantle our judiciary, attack key civil rights and gut environmental regulations. I’ve never backed down from challenging them and will fight in Congress for protections that make Utah communities safe and healthy,” said Nate Blouin. “The endorsement of the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC is an honor and a clear signal that we’ve built a campaign on track to win. Now more than ever, we need to stand up for working families and build a government that works for the people – not billionaires. We need bold leaders, not the same failed compromises. It’s time to fight for Utah and our country.”
Over the past three election cycles, the CPC PAC has raised over $13 million and invested in progressive candidates across the country. Over the decade, a majority of CPC PAC’s pre-primary endorsements have gone on to win their race in the general election. In 2024, the CPC was the only ideological caucus to send new members to Congress in 50% or more of races in which its affiliated PAC made a pre-primary endorsement.
