When COVID mandates came down, Michelle Tanner didn’t just comply — she stood up, spoke out, and paid the price.

In this episode of The United States of Grit, Walker sits down with Michelle Tanner, a conservative city councilwoman from St. George, Utah, who lost her job for refusing to back down during the pandemic. She shares what it cost her, what she learned, and why she still believes in fighting for freedom at the local level.

We dig into her journey from nurse to public official, the battles behind closed doors, and what it really takes to hold the line when the pressure’s on.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about principle — and having the grit to live it out.
