We visit Murray Park and parks in Holladay and Cottonwood. Our schools are Spring Lane Elementary and Bonneville Junior High in Granite School District.

Your response: My community is composed of young families all the way to elderly individuals living on a fixed income. We live in a HOA community with apartments, townhomes, and attached homes. This is a predominantly white neighborhood but there are many LGBTQIA residents and greater political and religious diversity than in many neighborhoods. English is the dominant language, though there are several families of international origin.

  - What are the needs of your community?
  - Is there anything else you want to tell us about your community?

Examples of needs or concerns: Keep community in the same district or separate into multiple districts, shared policy concerns, need for a social service, relationship to other nearby communities, issues with current district lines

Your response: Our current district has been engineered to dilute the community-minded interests of my community. We believe in taxation for services and take pride in participating in government and programs for the social good. Our children depend on the adults to create a local political community and environment that will support their health, education, and growth through responsible stewardship of government and resources.
