A Republican candidate for the Utah State Senate used the medium of rap to get across her political message, rhyming her way through a number of conservative talking points.

Linda Paulson, a candidate in Utah’s District 12, appears in the footage, dancing and rapping.

The following is a transcription of Paulson’s rhymes:

Hey Utah, District 12, listen up right here
There’s a new name on the ballot for the Senate this year
My name is Linda Paulson–Republican and Awesome!
Love GOD, and Family, and the Constitution
I tried to get another Conservative to run
Nobody could do it so I’m getting it done
I’m Pro-Religious Freedom, Pro-Life, Pro-Police
The right to bear arms and the right to free speech
I want LESS government control and regulation
Want to stop and expose all political corruption
Where’s integrity, morality, accountability?
Government programs should lead to self-sufficiency
And support traditional family
As the fundamental unit of society
But in schools they’re pushing for new beliefs
And just to clarify this, ‘cuz there’s some who can’t define this
As a female adult, I know what a woman is

I love this country, it’s a blessing to be free
But freedom comes with responsibility
The Constitution needs to be protected
Not changed or disregarded, but Resurrected!
If you share my values, if you like what I stand for
Then give me your vote on the 8th of November
District 12 needs a choice,
Let me be your voice – Linda Paulson!

[MUSIC - LINDA PAULSON]: Hey youth of district 12, listen up right here. There's a new name on the ballot for the Senate this year. My name is Linda Paulson, Republican and awesome. Love God, and family, and the Constitution.

I tried to get another conservative to run. Nobody could do it, so I'm getting it done. I'm pro-religious freedom, pro-life, pro-police, the right to bear arms, and the right to free speech. I want less government control and regulation. Want to stop and expose all political corruption.

Where's integrity, morality, accountability? Government programs should lead to self-sufficiency, and support traditional family as a fundamental unit of society. But in schools they are pushing for new beliefs.

And just to clarify this, because there are some who can define this as a female adult, I know what a woman is. I love this country, it's a blessing to be free. But freedom comes with responsibility.

The Constitution needs to be protected, not changed or disregarded, but resurrected. If you share my values, if you like what I stand for, then give me your vote on the 8th of November. District 12 needs a choice. Let me be your voice, Linda Paulson. Linda Paulson for Senate.
