Mitchell Price grew up in St. George, UT and currently resides in Provo, UT with his wife, Emma. He graduated from SUU with a degree in Political Science. He works as a data content specialist at Ancestry, but is an aspiring environmental lawyer and author.
Mitch’s story is one of curiosity, growth, and finding his place in a complex political landscape. Growing up in Colorado with liberal-leaning ideas but in a conservative household, Mitch found those values reinforced when his family moved to Utah, where the community, church, and schools largely aligned with his parents’ beliefs. But a political placement test in high school revealed his ideals leaned further left—and that realization sent him on a journey of discovery. From living in El Salvador during a time of monumental political change, to weighing the balance between liberty and safety, Mitch has seen firsthand how political climates shape people’s perspectives.
Today, Mitch is working toward becoming a lawyer with a focus on helping people and protecting the environment, driven by a belief that caring for the earth is a moral responsibility. He shares how writing and creating art can be powerful tools for spreading ideas, fostering empathy, and inspiring change—often in subtle but lasting ways. His story is a reminder that political identity is often a lifelong work in progress—and that listening, learning, and using your voice are all part of the journey.
