  • Trevor Lee’s history is defined by a pattern of self-interest at the expense of others. He has admitted to check fraud and faces serious allegations of using his legislative office to secure private contracts through backroom deals. With claims of political leverage for personal profit, it is clear that Lee prioritizes his own gain over the people he serves. Utah deserves better than a politician who exploits his position for personal benefit.

  • Trevor Lee is an ineffective politician. In 2026, Lee sponsored 12 bills and 0 were passed. His confrontational style has alienated the common-sense majority in the House and Utah voters deserve better. Trevor Lee does not represent us and must be voted out this June.

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
