Your response: My smaller community is a portion of Murray that was annexed from unincorporated county a decade or so ago. It has a somewhat different set of municipal services than the main portion of Murray. From a bit wider perspective, there is a portion of Murray that is currently in HD 46--a district that is primarily comprised of Cottonwood Heights. Our needs are more aligned with Murray and Midvale. From an even wider perspective, Salt Lake County is the major metropolitan county in the state and has unique needs. It should not be split up.

Your response: Salt Lake County is currently split into 3 congressional districts.
