Special Session with Bryan Schott rips the curtain back on Utah politics. No spin. No access journalism. No bootlicking. Just 25+ years of experience breaking down the stories that make elected officials squirm.
From backroom deals at the Capitol to the power plays you’re not supposed to know about, Bryan delivers fearless political coverage and interviews with newsmakers who actually matter. This is Utah politics without the PR polish.
Independent. Unfiltered. Uncomfortable for all the right people.
One week. That’s all that stands between us and the end of the 2026 midterms.
But before we get there, there’s plenty to dig into. Early ballot data shows Utah Democrats are mailing theirs back at a much higher rate than anyone else, while independents are sitting on theirs. The race for the next Senate president is reportedly deadlocked 11-11, and it could come down to a single Senate seat, plus a little parliamentary trick that would let Democrats pick the winner if they had the guts to use it.
I’ll also explain why that “independent voter surge” story you saw last week isn’t quite what it seems, walk you through a federal judge tossing the DOJ’s grab for Utah’s voter rolls, and follow the money behind some recycled anti-trans mailers and a pile of Wyoming cash flooding Utah legislative races.
