Before Mike Lee first became our Senator, I remember him stating to many people asking as he ran, that he would only do 2 terms, and call it quits. Aside from the fact he lied about that, spends most his time concerned about things that aren't a benefit to Utah, and changing in a major way to cater to the extremists in his party, he has been one of the most anti-public land representatives in the entire nation. Trying to steal our American public lands, and make them vulnerable to sale. The man is as anti-conservation, and anti-public lands as it gets, and now, in 2022, it's time to get rid of him.
Now, admittedly Lee's 2 Republican primary challengers and I don't agree on some things, but we do agree Utah can do and be better than Mike Lee. The two main challengers are Becky Edwards and Ally Isom. Both reasonable, and more moderate voices for the state. I know not all decisions in life are based off public lands so here's the two primary challengers so those who want can't overview their campaigns. I have emailed both of them to get a more firm grasp on where they stand in regards to the transfer or sale of public lands in the state, I will post it here once I get a response.
Becky Edwards
Ally Isom
The bottom line, is this is a real chance to get one of the most anti-conservation/anti-public land legislators in the country out of the United States Senate. If you are not a registered Republican, register as a Republican by March 2022 to vote in the Republican Primary. You can always switch back after if you are unaffiliated, independent etc
Here's a sampling of Mike Lee over his time in congress in relation to public lands.
Disposal of public lands Act he introduced:
Land and Water conservation fund permanent reauthorization act:
Mike Lee is one of 8 Senators to vote against this very bipartisan, public land friendly, wildlife habitat protection bill. Senator Romney voted in favor.
By the way this bill was endorsed by groups like Mule Deer Foundation, Turkey Federation, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and a whole slew of other sportsman groups. Lee voted against it.
The man tells his plans for public lands himself that he would like to use/sale your public lands for development and for funding:
This is a sampling of his attacks there's plenty more, his motive is quite clear however, and he is one of the greatest threats to public lands in the United States congress. It's time to get Mike Lee gone next June.

Utah Senator Compares America’s Public Lands to Elite Playgrounds and We’re Not Having It | Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership
