Your response: I feel like the state was divided in a way that heavily favors conservatives. I would like representation, and as Democrats, we have a right to representation that is denied to us through previous gerrymandering.

Your response: I have lived in Utah since 1979. My children were born and raised here. I am a nonMormon and a Democrat. I expect my government to be ethical and secular. I am not finding the state or federal representatives to be either, except for the rep and senator for Utah state government that represent me.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - Where are residents employed?
  - If there are environmental concerns in your community, what are they?

Examples of economic or environmental interests: Tourism industry, agricultural workers, mining town, manufacturing center, polluted natural resource, unemployment problem, etc.

Your response: We need to stop incentivizing business to move to Utah. Utah doesn't have the water or resources to support the growth that has occurred in recent years. Come to visit; not to live. Focus on improving the air in the valley: less industry, less commuting in cars with one driver, more trees planting (the city arborists are terrific!) and enforcing businesses to reduce water usage and air emissions.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What should politicians and/or map drawers know about your community?
  - 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: Ever since Reagan changed our treatment of behavioral health patients in this country, homelessness has skyrocketed. We need incentive programs for businesses to help out: hire those who don't have a permanent address; provide more community mental health services, raise consciousness about homelessness: People aren't on the street because it is fun. And those that avoid the shelters cannot abide by the rules that say they cannot self-medicate there. Alcohol and drugs are how we cope with mental illness when we cannot afford care. We can do better. The stigma associated with those without permanent addresses is dead wrong. Help our citizens, all of them.
