A Utah political network that says it identifies, endorses, and supports "principled candidates." Its own site lists 36 endorsements for 2026. Its own campaign-finance filings show a different list of who it has actually paid: 12 endorsed candidates with no payment found, and 13 recipients it never endorsed.
At least three separate legal entities carry the Doers Network name, and their paperwork doesn't line up neatly with the money.
Solid arrows: documented incorporation. Dashed: sequence and name only, not a documented legal link.
Payments with dates documented on this site, set against the dates the named entities were formed. Three different return addresses appear over the year.
Craythorne ($3,750) and Rep. Jordan Teuscher ($2,000) paid the same day (Case 13).

The Doers Network organizes its board by county. Utah County, Salt Lake County, and Davis County each have their own regional board; nearly every seat across all three is held by a current or former elected official, party officer, or professional in government relations/lobbying — not a cross-section of community volunteers.
Members who hold or have held elected or party office, work in government or lobbying, or carry national political credentials. Utah and Davis counts are stated on this page; Salt Lake is counted from the backgrounds listed below.

Utah campaign-finance disclosures show direct 2026 contributions from Doers Network entities to a list that overlaps with, but differs from, the 36 public endorsements — $86,050 documented across the year in the table below, entirely a 2026 phenomenon (no 2025 activity exists).

Rust bars: also publicly endorsed. Navy bars: paid, but not on the public endorsement list. Total: $86,050.
| Address on the filing | Filed as | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| 6905 S 1300 E #224, Midvale / Cottonwood Heights, UT | "Doers Network" | Tran, 3/1/26. The same suite appears on All In For Utah PAC's filings. |
| 1000 N West St Ste 1200, Wilmington, DE | "Doers Network Inc." | Tran, 6/11/26 |
| 421 Office Park Drive, Mountain Brook, AL | Doers Network | Teuscher and MacPherson, 9/9/26 |
"Katrina Hall" appears in the contribution filings; the endorsement page lists "Katy Hall" for HD 11. Whether these are the same person is not yet confirmed.
Overlaying both lists shows they aren't the same list. The clearest examples are Utah's two legislative leaders: Senate President Stuart Adams and House Speaker Mike Schultz both received Doers Network money in 2026, and neither appears on the organization's own public endorsement page. Several other sitting legislators — Melissa Garff Ballard, Steven Eliason, Jason Thompson, and Daniel McCay among them — are in the same position. Conversely, several endorsed candidates in county-level races (Salt Lake County Council, Salt Lake County Sheriff, Davis County Clerk, and others) have no matching contribution yet found in this year's disclosures. Money and formal endorsement, in other words, are two separate signals from the same organization, not two views of the same list.
"Katy Hall" (endorsed) and "Katrina Hall" (paid) may be the same person; they are counted separately until confirmed.
The Doers Network doesn't operate alone. Digging into individual candidates' own disclosures surfaces the same names, addresses, and vendors reaching into other, ostensibly separate parts of Utah's political-money apparatus.
Solid arrows: money in filed reports. Dashed lines: household ties and endorsements. Shared vendors are described below.
Matthew T. Sanderson, a Washington DC campaign-finance attorney, incorporated both Utah Doers Network and All In For Utah Foundation/PAC — a separate entity already tied to a Cox-orbit money network documented elsewhere. On Tamara Tran's own disclosures, All In For Utah PAC and Doers Network file from the exact same suite address, 6905 S 1300 E #224. Two "separate" political committees, one office.
Two separate Salt Lake County board members, each funding two separate candidates individually — on top of whatever the Doers Network PAC itself gave.
Mike Bird's own disclosures show small contributions from Luke Searle (HD-59, CASE 11) and Casey Saxton (a Doers-endorsed HD-37 candidate) — the endorsed roster isn't just receiving from the same PAC, some of them are funding each other directly.
Tactical Campaigns appears in both Tamara Tran's and Stephanie Gricius's expenditures. Majority 51 shows up as a vendor paid by both Tran's and Erik Craythorne's (CASE 13) campaigns. Tran's campaign also paid $12,000 to a vendor called "Gathering" — not yet confirmed as the same Gathering Inc. tied to the 2025 signature-forgery prosecutions documented elsewhere on this site, but the name match is worth tracking.
Davis County board member Steve Hiatt is the former Kaysville Mayor who preceded Tamara Tran in that office — she's now the Doers-backed candidate for the state Senate seat Jerry Stevenson is vacating. Separately, Salt Lake County Council Chair Aimee Winder Newton gave Mike Bird $6,000 personally, reading as a backing-the-successor relationship rather than a contested primary.
