Hey Everyone!!

I know that this group has been inactive for a while, but we are looking to start it back up again so we can hit the ground running with regular meetings and events this coming fall semester! Austin Fulton, who has led the group up until now, will be graduating this semester, so I will be taking over as the group leader. In order to start up the group again, we need to reactivate it with ASUU, but we need some help. If you are going to be around as a student this coming fall, and would like to be involved in helping organize the group, please contact me and we can get things rolling! Feel free to comment, send me a private message, or email me at [email protected]. You can also text me at 801-636-3006. Thanks for your continued interest in No Labels and I look forward to having more activity in this group in the coming months!

"Rather than compete directly against each other, both parties increasingly occupy their separate territories, with diminishing overlap and disappearing common accountability. They hear from very different constituents, with very different priorities. The minimal electoral incentives they do face all push toward nurturing, rather than bridging, those increasingly wide divisions."

The Divided States of America Rather than being one two-party nation, we are increasingly two one-party nations.

The Hinckley Institute of Politics and the University of Utah David Eccles School of Business are hosting a debate watch party this Monday! It's sure to be a good time!
