Momentum in Motion

The 2026 legislative session is in full swing — and the stakes couldn’t be higher. From proposed 5% across-the-board budget cuts that could impact education and core services, to changes in voting and ballot access (including HB209), to major shifts in the balance of power through bills like SB134 and HB392, the decisions being made right now will shape Utah’s future. Energy and environmental debates — including expanded nuclear investment and bills such as HB222 and SB234 — are also front and center.

It’s not too late to stay engaged. Track bills, follow votes, and connect directly with lawmakers through the Utah State Legislature website — and join us at our March Legislative Wrap-Up Luncheon featuring Representative Angela Romero and Senator Karen Kwan as they break down what passed, what failed, and what comes next.

Meanwhile, candidate season is underway. We’re proud to offer early visibility and financial support to endorsed Democrats through a rigorous review process powered by our members. New endorsements are being added throughout the cycle — and we’re just getting started.

Our momentum is real: 54 new members joined in the last 30 days alone. We’re expanding committees, filling key board positions, and building toward two major events — the March Luncheon and our May 15 Icons of Influence celebration honoring 130 years of the Women’s Democratic Club of Utah.

This is a moment to engage, organize, and lead. Join us.

Icons of Influence: A First Look at 130 Years of Women’s Leadership

We’re giving you a sneak peek at something extraordinary.

This year marks 130 years of the Women’s Democratic Club of Utah — and we’re celebrating in style. Icons of Influence will be a festive cocktail gala honoring the women who have shaped political power, progress, and change across our state. Think live music, signature cocktails, elevated bites, immersive historical moments — and yes, inspired attire is encouraged. Come dressed as your favorite female icon and celebrate the courage, leadership, and influence that brought us here.

This is more than an anniversary. It’s a milestone moment. Our club is growing, our energy is building, and engagement is higher than ever. This celebration will reflect that momentum — while fueling what comes next. Proceeds will help recruit, support, and elect Democratic candidates across Utah, and our silent auction will feature unique experiences and insider political opportunities you won’t find anywhere else.

Members-only early bird tickets are coming soon — and they will go quickly.

We’re also beginning to line up sponsors, auction items, and volunteers to help with everything from setup to check-in. If you’d like to be part of building this unforgettable evening, we’d love to connect.

Be part of the celebration. Be part of the legacy. Help us turn 130 years of leadership into the next chapter of impact.

Ready to get involved? Reach out to our President, Terri Hrechkosy, or Vice President, Elaine Lewis — and we’ll help you find the perfect place to plug in.

From Utah to the Nation: Your WDC Membership Includes NFDW

Your membership connects you to a national force of Democratic women leading at every level. NFDW doesn’t just organize; it holds three delegate seats on the Democratic National Committee, giving Democratic women a direct voice in shaping the party’s direction at the highest level. That national presence elevates WDC Utah’s visibility, opens doors to high-level speakers and strategic partnerships, and strengthens our collective power to influence elections and legislation.

Your membership also unlocks enriching opportunities like national virtual events, the Women in Blue series, NFDW Book Club discussions, and in-person gatherings such as the 2026 Las Vegas Convention — where Democratic women from across the country come together to learn, network, and build lasting power. And on March 8 (International Women’s Day), we invite you to flex that power with us at NFDW’s Women in Blue Virtual Event as we #AccelerateAction to protect our health care, democracy, and freedoms. When you engage through NFDW, you’re not just attending events — you’re stepping into a national movement shaping the future of our party and our country.
