This map does not unite cities. As a citizen of Murray, I do not approve of the gerymandering. I want to feel united with my city. Stop splitting us up!

I think all these maps fail and the escamilla and owns map is the most fair but still off. So why is it the objective to mix rural and city folks? Who's idea was it that that's gonna pass proposition 4? That sounds very partisan and will not pass proposition 4. You guys added that for your own interests and biases. All the maps split up salt lake. Keep 80% together as a district if you can't put us all in one. Do most but this personal bias of adding rural makes no sense. They don't have the unhoused camping out in their back yard. Literally and yes that happened. Different issues. Keep salt lake in the same district and do more tests. Don't make excuses band be lazy. There's still a massive partisan bias in most those maps. Throw them out and start over.

Dear representatives. I am concerned because none of the maps except maybe Escamilla and Owens map even remotely will pass proposition 4 and we will be back here trying to get the legislature to stop splitting up salt lake. According to the session I watched they said salt lake is over a million people and their share needs to be smaller. But I did the math and that still doesn't explain why you can't keep the community together. Most the maps slit salt lake in 2 and add other counties. These will be back in the courts because proposition 4 was very clear. Maybe put Riverton in with provo's district. I work in Farmington and Bountiful. None of those folks are city people like salt lake. They don't have a large homeless population either. Farmington and Bountiful are still very rural and suburban. Not like the city at all. Then there's my other major issue with the maps. Look salt lake is the money maker. Most taxes. I'm very offended you would continue to split up salt lake over money. Robbing Peter to pay paul. Salt lake is dealing with all the homelessness. We don't need our money going to st. George or Beaver when we are not even taking care of the unhoused. I work in hospitals. I know and if we had the right resources we could really help people back into working and housing. Not throwing are money at private corporations to build sports junk. They make money. Why are we paying for it? So anyway. Stop splitting up salt lake city and maybe we won't see you back in court. Thanks
Jeremy Cantwell
Clearly this is just more of what the court stuck down. Splitting communities that are not even close together is asinine and doesn't reflect the citizens that live there
Wendy Zeigler
Since this is a House of Representatives map, I realize they are much smaller divisions. I like that my neighborhood/City is mostly intact.
Amanda Johnson
This map does the worst job of uniting neighborhoods and communities. It lacks cohesion and will not reflect the will of the voters in counties and cities.
Deborah Lawler
I like that Summit Park is included with the Snyderville Basin, Park City, and within Summit County. This makes way more sense than currently divided map, which singled out Summit Park, separated us from Summit County, and lumped us into Salt Lake City.

I am in favor of Option A map.
While I am not in favor of having parts of Salt Lake County represented by the Congressman who also represents the far southeast of the state, I recognize the need for a Congressman's district to be a balance of rural and urban areas. I feel that Option A may give a good balance of rural and urban area representation.
Laura B Livnat
You have divided Millcreek up in unreasonable ways, and lumped us with Canyon rim. The West side is also illogical.
Edith Hammond
Grouping the folks who live in Brickyard with people on the East Bench is a weird choice.
Delese Bettinson
This map meets the criteria more closely than other maps, there are still some details that I would like to see adjusted to better suit keeping counties , districts and neighborhoods and communities of interest together.
Katie Walter
I have appreciated that across each map my area here is together. However, I spent the first 6 years living here in the Salt Lake area and am disappointed in how those neighborhoods are split in each map. I would prefer to have seen a truly independent commission take this on. The Committee, respectfully, is not independent.
Shawn Bauman
I oppose the proposed redistricting map as it fails to adequately respect the principles of Utah Proposition 4. The map unnecessarily divides established communities of interest, dilutes local representation, and disrupts the compactness of several districts. In particular, the splitting of counties and municipalities appears to prioritize political advantage over the fairness and integrity of the process. These issues undermine the goal of providing equal and effective representation for all Utahns.
Ashley Jacobson
Please follow the stipulations voted on by Utah voters. Do not look at partisan data and election results and please use multiple tests to determine fairness of maps. Not just one test. The voters have spoken and this is what we want. You have been elected to represent us.
Tanner Olson
Of the independent redistricting committee's maps, I like how alpine is grouped here best. I can't truly comment on the rest of the map, but the other two maps have areas near where I live that don't make a lot of sense to me. And, of course, we SHOULD have the independent committee draw districts. The idea that the legislature can choose what votes to count where is laughable. Uphold the will of the people.
Nicole Kunz
This map is cut up in ways that don't make sense. I don't see communities being clumped together. Why is the west side of Salt Lake County split into so many odd shapes?
Danya Gorel
I am strongly opposed to Senator Brammer’s “partisan bias test” and the proposed congressional maps. These maps are designed to protect partisan advantage, not voters. The bill bakes in Republican wins, sets an impossible standard, and overrides Proposition 4—undermining fair representation for both urban and rural Utahns.
Fair maps matter because they determine who will:
Protect our air and water
Fight for health equity and sustainable energy
Safeguard public lands
Please reject this bill and ensure maps are drawn fairly, keeping communities together and letting voters—not politicians—choose their representatives. I urge committee members to listen to public input, apply multiple fairness tests as required by Proposition 4, and draw maps that truly reflect the needs of all Utahns.

Thank you UIRC for producing well crafted non-partisan maps just like the *majority* of Utah voters wanted.
Jason Baxter
Why divide an area across all 4 corners of the i-15/215 interchange? Why is the Glendale neighborhood of SLC aligned with South Salt Lake to the east of I-15? Utah County has multiple divisions across city and geographic lines, like I-15. St George area appears chopped up strangely as well.
Sandy Fishler
Keep city representation intact.
Karli C LaMar
Thank you for keeping Rose Park intact with it's fellow west SLC neighborhoods. We do not belong with Woods Cross or Bountiful as out community needs are DRASTICALLY different and never well represented in the State Senate.
Erik Gumbrecht
Tooele County and Box Elder should not be together. They are not connected by any major road making representation a challenge.
