Nate Blouin is a progressive state senator representing Utah's 13th Senate District since 2023. Born in Concord, New Hampshire, he holds degrees from Salt Lake Community College, University of Utah, and Brown University (MPA). Before entering politics, he worked as a renewable energy advocate and policy consultant. In the state Senate, he has positioned himself as one of the most outspoken progressive voices, advocating for clean energy, better air quality, and affordable housing. Despite being called a 'punk' for his confrontational style with Republican leaders, Blouin argues this aggressive approach is what Utah voters are seeking.
Blouin was born in New Hampshire and moved to Utah for college. He earned credentials in renewable energy policy and worked as a climate advocate before entering politics. His 2022 state Senate campaign emphasized affordability and clean energy. He represents a millennial progressive voice in traditionally conservative Utah politics, having beaten incumbent Gene Davis decisively in 2022.
