The Dignity Index has released scores following the U.S. 4th District Congressional Debate featuring Democratic challenger Darlene McDonald and United Utah Party independent January Walker. The scores also include ratings for third-party ads.
January Walker (United Utah) – AVG 4.8 (Last AVG reported: N/A)
5 – Walker’s first score comes in response to police, saying that we just need “adjust our approach.” In her comments, she says we “expect them to go through incredibly difficult jobs and face danger every single day.” She says this has created a population that has high levels of stress and fear.
6 – Walker earned a dignified score after speaking about how she and her party are trying to bridge the gaps of party divide by asking people one thing they like about the opposing party. In her statement, she says she appreciates how Democrats try to make everyone feel heard and included and how Republicans champion fiscal responsibility.
6 – Walker earned this score by criticizing how election deniers have been managed. “Instead of going through and trying to find solutions in which we could bridge the divide, instead we told them to sit down and to be quiet and accept the election results without offering real viable solutions for the future.” Walker continued by saying she went and talked to election deniers and asked what it would take for them to have confidence in elections again.
3 – Walker’s lowest score came after stating that there is a divide in politics. She criticized both major parties by likening them to “parasites” that fed off each other and profiteer off the problems Americans face. Walker said, “It doesn’t matter in this day and age if you choose to vote for a Democratic or Republican anymore because the result and the solutions that come from them will be the exact same that we’ve seen for decades.”
4 – Walker earned another score of contempt after saying Rep. Owens had “displayed cowardice” by not appearing at the debate. She criticized Owens by saying he has been in a controlled environment for two years and accused him of not being to “speak clearly and concisely.”
