After uploading a rap-style campaign ad video to support her candidacy, Utah Republican candidate Linda Paulson recently found herself trending on Twitter.
In the video, the woman introduces herself while rapping and dancing in front of an American flag. Paulson’s booming introduction to the clip is as follows:
“Hey Utah district 12, listen upright here, there’s a new name on the ballot for the Senate this year.”
She continues:
“My name is Linda Paulson – Republican and awesome! Love God, and family, and the Constitution.”

Further in the video, Paulson shares that she is “pro-religious freedom, pro-life, pro-police, the right to bear arms and the right to free speech.”
She also mentions that she wants “less government control and regulation” and wishes to “stop and expose police corruption.”
Paulson keeps using words like “morality,” “integrity,” “accountability,” and “self-sufficiency” throughout the tape. Near the end of the video, she also made fun of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and appeared to criticise the trans community by saying:
“If you share my values, if you like what I stand for, then give me your vote on the 8th of November. District 12 needs a choice. Let me be your voice.”
