Jamie Renda is the founder of Path Forward Utah, a nonprofit organization focused on strengthening civic engagement, education, government accountability, and community involvement across Utah.
Through Path Forward Utah, Jamie works to bring together community leaders, educators, elected officials, policymakers, nonprofits, and families to encourage thoughtful dialogue and practical solutions to issues affecting Utah communities. Her work includes supporting civic and constitutional education for students, expanding educational opportunities, promoting greater transparency and accountability in government, and helping individuals and organizations become more effectively engaged in the public policy process.
Jamie is also actively involved in building partnerships and supporting community-based organizations throughout Utah, particularly those working with youth, families, education, mental health, and underserved communities. She has helped organize public forums, university debates, educational events, policy discussions, community initiatives, and opportunities that connect citizens directly with decision-makers.
At the heart of Jamie’s work is the belief that stronger communities are built when people understand their government, participate in the civic process, work across differences, and come together to find practical solutions to shared challenges.
“Gratitude is always better than grievance.”
Jaime Wadman is a conservative that focuses on networking and finding solutions. She knows that we must recognize what made America the great nation that it is. We must acknowledge mistakes so that we do not repeat them and look towards a path forward together with our fellow Americans. We can’t be focused on why the other side is wrong but show why conservatism works. America has a republic as its form of government. A republic can only remain healthy if it has the active involvement from its citizenry. A republic is a form of government in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives. We have forgotten this as a society and have become disengaged. The sooner we learn that we each have a responsibility to be informed and involved in our communities to keep the government small and more free, the better America will become.

Ignacio is originally from Monterrey Mexico and came over to the USA in 2003.
Since he was young, he wanted to be part of the US, and would practice the English language because it was a part of who he was.
When he finally came to the USA, he could not believe how awesome the United States was and how much of liberties people enjoy here.
On November 4th he officially became a United States Citizen, and registered as a Republican, participating in many capacities in the election process in order to learn each and everyone of them.
As he started to get more involved in the process he noticed many things in the political spectrum that really caught his eye. Not just the way people vote, it was also how individuals would get elected, then later on; forget the reasons why they were elected and change their original ways that made them be in office. He also saw many things out there within individuals that sided with different perspectives.
He decided to be on the side of the conservative side due to its leanings towards the US Constitution, The Amendments and the Bill of Rights.
