Julie Ray
Chair of Caucus Chairs
Spurned by an outrage against injustice and inspired by a mind wired for systemic change, Julie has been passionate about advocacy from a young age. Raised in a family of socially progressive (yet somewhat religious) women, it was commonplace to hear and engage with thought-provoking conversations discussing a variety of controversial issues. Being raised in an environment where acceptance was valued allowed her to question those which promoted restrictive, authoritative dogma. With the turn in our social and political climate, Julie aspires to empower others to engage with the democratic process. "Everyone cares about something, they just need the tools to act on it". Beyond that, she hopes to see more Utahns advocating against the wave of bigotry that is seeking to weaken the hard-won rights and freedoms that make our country so great.
