What People Say

Karen Kwan, Senator, Utah Senate

'I am writing to highly recommend Martin Gaucin. I met Martin in 2022 as a Senate page. There he had many duties such as delivering notes and documents between senators, offices, and committees; providing basic support to Senators; managing legislative materials such as bills, amendments, and agendas; observing the legislative process; assisting with light clerical work; and, assisting during official events or meetings. I was very impressed with his professionalism as he performed these duties efficiently and effectively.

It was because of his work as a Senate page that I asked Martin to assist me with my Senate campaign where he played an integral role. Martin’s dedication, work ethic, and ability to inspire those around him were key to the success of our efforts.

During his time on the campaign, Martin demonstrated exceptional skills in strategic planning, communications, and teamwork. He was instrumental in organizing community outreach events, engaging with voters, and ensuring that our campaign’s message resonated across diverse audiences using social media. His ability to connect with people on a personal level, coupled with his deep understanding of the issues, made him an invaluable asset to our team.

In addition to his professional capabilities, Martin is a person of integrity and compassion. He genuinely cares about making a difference, and his passion for public service is evident in everything he does. His ability to navigate complex challenges with thoughtfulness and determination will undoubtedly serve him well in any future endeavor.

I am confident that Martin Gaucin will bring the same level of excellence and dedication to any role he undertakes. It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend him, and I am certain he will be a valuable asset to your organization. Please feel free to contact me at (801) 870-7746 or votekarenkwan@gmail.com
