This map fails to keep Salt Lake County, the most populous county in our state with 34% of the entire state population as a single community of interest. This map goes against allowing a single group to choose its own representative. The power of the citizenry is diluted with any division of this county.
Brian Bosworth
While the map does a good job of grouping rural and urban citizens together it does a disservice to the folks living in South Jordan, Daybreak, etc. These suburban folks have very little in common with folks living hundreds of miles away in the Southwestern Utah. They deserve to be represented by the same person as their neighbors in Utah or Salt Lake County who have similar jobs, transportation needs, and socio-economic opportunities.

This line through the middle of the Salt Lake Valley is a bit odd to me, BUT 1-15 is a pretty natural barrier so I'm not so strongly opposed to it. All in all, it still feels better than options A-E for me.
Vincent R Saunders
I could live with this map it has pluses and minuses, but it divides the state somewhat fairly yet keeps things homogenous and balanced.
Jacob Hewitson
Definitely I'll give kudos to the UIRC, it's still a lot better than what we have currently, but it still puts people with wildly different interests and needs together in districts which span nearly the whole state, while dividing groups (both urban and rural) along seemingly arbitrary lines.
Joel Barber
Thank you UIRC for producing well crafted non-partisan maps just like the *majority* of Utah voters wanted.
MATTHEW DAVID SCHNEIDER
This map achieves the Legislature's stated goal of an Urban/rural split for districts while keeping cities in Salt Lake County whole. This should be considered well ahead of the chairs maps.
Dustin Garner
honest map - made in good faith unlike Rep Ray and Sandall's disaster
Julie Faure
I think this is a pretty good map. It seems to keep communities of interest together and is the only one that splits Southeastern and Southwestern Utah. From my experience those communities have quite different concerns.
Garret Roundy
The legislative redistricting committee needs to choose one of the UIRC recommendations or they are usurping power from the voice of the people through Prop 4. There are better and worse options if we're trying to fairly represent the people, but anything besides using one of these is unacceptable.
Kellie Baxter
I feel this is a much better option than the map proposed by the legislative redistricting committee.
Karin L Fenn
This map is better than 132 but still not a fair distribution of districts according to interests and concerns. Not a good choice.
Rusty Smith
The worst map put forward by the independent commission, but far better than anything put forth by legislators. The problem with this map is that is mixes too many Urban and Rural voters together. When this happens you have representatives that have a hard time representing their district because their district isn't aligned on the issues.
Wendy Conrad
My least favorite of the IRC maps - but way better than the Legislature proposal. I prefer the Purple or Orange maps created by the IRC!
Jon Bertrand
This map isn't as good as some of the other maps. The urban/rural mix is just too weird. I'd pass on this one.
Sarah Duensing
Another attempt to split Salt Lake County as many ways as they can to quite progressive and liberal voters. We deserve AT LEAST one totally urban district considering 90.6% of the population of the state is in urban areas.
