The biggest thing holding back independent candidates like Evan from winning is the sense that they can’t win. But Evan is proving that theory wrong!
If Evan wins, he would immediately be a national figure that others would look to as proof independents can defeat incumbents in high-profile races. It would be a sea change for third-party politics in our country.
But Evan’s race won’t be easy. Mike Lee is a two-term incumbent endorsed by Donald Trump who has the full support of partisan organizations and dark-money special interest groups. Money is the one thing keeping Senator Lee in office.
