As a recent former candidate for Salt Lake City mayor, you can imagine I’ve spent hundreds of hours thinking, reflecting upon and discussing what our great capital city needs for the future. I have been to every single mayoral debate and have listened to both Luz Escamilla and Erin Mendenhall speak dozens of times — outlining their positions, adding more information, and going toe to toe with each other’s ideas. So, as I’ve made up my mind who I’m going to vote for as the next mayor of Salt Lake City, it comes from sitting on multiple stages, in community rooms, and attending gatherings with both of these candidates.
