Were You Represented This Session?

Every Representative in the House, and half of the Senators are up for re-election this year. What did they do for you this session? What has their past record been? It's time for you to find out.

Google their name, look them up on the Utah Legislature page, check how they voted on bills that you felt strongly about, and make note if they have replied to your emails or concerns.

A Deseret News-KSL Poll done at the beginning of the session said 60 percent of Utahns cannot name their Senator and Representative. We each should not only know WHO represents us, we should now HOW. That information is readily available.

Most of those up for re-election will seek it. Most of those will also win. Some deserve another term, they have done well representing their districts, others not so much. Find out where your legislators fits, you have no excuses.

Numerous candidates have been declaring their intentions to challenge incumbents these past few weeks. As the session ends, we'll turn our attention to the coming election so each of us can vote informed come November.
