Robert Gehrke: Sen. Mike Lee has spent 12 years in Congress voting against health care, veterans, disaster relief and other important policies that Utahns deserve.
Sen. Mike Lee has spent 12 years in Congress voting against health care, veterans, disaster relief and other important policies that Utahns deserve.During the course of Sen. Mike Lee’s re-election bid, a lot has been made oflike Sidney Powell John Eastman, the mastermind of the illegal and anti-democratic “alternate electors” theory.
So much so, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that well before Lee’s text messages to the White House, he’d piled up a long voting record that put him on the fringes of a polarized U.S. Senate and, I believe, well outside of the mainstream of Utah voters. His rigid ideological purity has led him to consistently vote against the interests of average Americans — working men and women, small business people, first responders and military veterans.
It is, no doubt, one of the things Lee’s supporters who voted for him in the Republican convention adore about him. But now, as voters statewide decide whether he deserves another term, it’s worth looking back at a handful of the low points in the senator’s last 12 years., free coronavirus testing and expanded food and unemployment benefits — programs that helped many impacted families weather the pandemic.
