Your response: I live in an area of Salt Lake made up of doctors, professors, entrepreneurs, stay at home moms and retirees. While occupations are diverse, the common thread in our neighborhood is largely one of progressive thinking, inclusiveness and conservation. Many of us own historic homes we seek to improve, and a large group of us on my street gather (pre-covid) once a month for a potluck to talk about issues important to us (this is not specific to religious, political or any other demographic...just neighbors). While not very ethnically diverse, visiting professors and health care workers at LDS hospital do offer different perspectives to our community.

Your response: We live in what is largely considered a "liberal" part of the Salt Lake City, but since the gerrymandering of our district several years ago, we have had zero opportunity for representation on the federal level. I don't take issue with the conservative areas of our state and those who live in rural communities, but our district is lumped in with a large swath of conservative areas such as Davis and Washington Counties, and the rural areas to the west and south of us. The needs and representation of rural and conservative strong holds are very different from the needs of our neighborhood. To segment Salt Lake City and carve up liberal areas makes it impossible for us to have representation.
