This one keeps communities together, which is what the judge said they needed to do. May C should be thrown out, even though of course it is what the GOP voted for.
Havilah Zeller
This map seems to keep communities together in a way that makes the most sense. Furthermore, the fact that it was developed by an independent commission makes me trust this map over others put forward by the legislature. Map C should be thrown out given the GOP's admission that it was a politically-driven map, which violates the spirit of Prop 4. I am strongly opposed to Map C. Map B seems to be the most competitive of those brought forward by the legislature, and while not ideal in terms of keeping communities together, the Escamilla/Owens map would be my third choice.
Thomas Paul Allen
I support the map that gets us closest to the original map from the Utah Independent Redistricting Commission, updated for Proposition 4 requirements. Thus, my top pick is Escamilla/Owens map, followed by Option B, then Option A, then Option D, then Option E, with Option C in last place. The Excamilla/Owens map follows the will of the Utah voters, and comes closest to providing equal voting for all Utah voters, rather than overweighting some votes at the expense of others. One person, one equal vote!
Elizabeth Berke
Please use the maps created by the independent redistricting commission. The people voted to create that commission and that is what we wish to see used.
Liz Rivera
The Independent maps are more in keeping with the desire of the electorate to not have their votes diluted. There is a lot of frustration right now with the feeling that so many of us have NO representation in the Utah delegation to DC. Gerrymandering is one of the reasons we are in this insane and extreme polarization. People are not being represented proportionally.
Charlotte Howe
The Escamilla/Owens maps is clearly the fairest and most cohesive. It honors Prop 4, which expresses the will of the people. Quit screwing around with our voting rights.
JANE NEVILLE LARSON
I prefer the Escamilla Owens option for redistricting. It meets the intentions of Prop 4 better than any of the others in my opinion. The people of Utah voted for Prop 4 and now we must, finally, put this fair, nonpartisan option to work. Keeping the urban areas together makes sense. Similar needs and issues within the same district.
Sarah Elizabeth McCready
I do not support Map C. This map appears as much better representation as our communities grow. We’ve had many out of state newcomers and I think this map will better represent everyone as a whole.
Jacquelyn Cruse
I Like this map. Though not perfect, it does a better job of keeping communities together.
Michal Patten
Of the maps submitted, this one honors the spirit of Prop 4 and keeps natural communities together.
Catherine Dillon
We prefer the Owens/Escamilla map—it feels fair, respectful, and true to voters’ intentions. This map seems in alignment. We must honor what people originally voted for and protect our community integrity. We do not support map C, which fractures neighborhoods and ignores public consensus. Let’s choose representation that listens, includes, and strengthens all voices—not one that divides us.
Jay Jean Esplin
We need a map that doesn't split communities in strange ways. The GOP doesn't need to play games to win. Why do they insist on doing that? Utah has political diversity. We also need political fairness. This map seems the vast way to achieve that.

Annika Suchoski
Of the maps presented this one seems to do the best job of keeping similar communities together while avoiding too many weird boundary lines cutting into neighborhoods like some of the others.
Brittany Jensen
I like that this takes a part of Layton and adds it to Clearfield. I feel that this area specifically in Layton would identify and have different needs than other areas of Layton.
liz nordloh
It's farer than the others
Marilyn Gull
I like this map from the options available.
Mykle S Law
This map is good at dividing lines that mirror communities. Provo isn't monolithic, nor is Lehi-- and these communities are a bit hard to divide up, but this map does a good job of these kinds of splits (and others).
Zachary Clark
I support this map as it groups cities and counties together
Eric Rosenthal
Like the majority of voters, I support having the maps drawn by the independent redistricting commission. Therefore, I am strongly in favor of adopting the purple map they developed. An effort should be made to created districts that effectively provide respresentation for people with shared local communities and concerns.
Mary Neilson
I do not support Map C. I believe this map to be the worst of the options and furthest from what Prop 4 was intended to do which was to fairly represent the Utah population. We need to be momre fair to the democratic party and the independants. Republicans are still making it to where democrats have no chance and they remain to keep control. Utah has changes we are no longer all republicans. We should be able to vote for either party no matter where we liec
Chris Holt
This map seems to keep the communities most intact. This seems like a fair map more so than most of the others.
Laura B Livnat
This map is more fair than the ones proposed by the GOP house, which are blatantly unfair. I would prefer this map to any written by anyone in the Utah Legislature.
Edith Hammond
There is no reason to cut the Brickyard area out of Millcreek's representation.
Delese Bettinson
I feel like this map attempts to meet most of the standards as outlined by the law the most - definitely more than other maps presented on here. Although I am not in love with how it particularly divided my district in Sandy, I think a few minor changes could make this map a great solution to the voting district issue in Utah. Please consider this map as a possible candidate to fair representation of the people within Utah's cities, counties and neighborhoods.
Sydney ottosen
This map is more fair. I think that the groupings represent us well based on real life.
Jason Lyons
All people in this state should be allowed to choose their representatives and not the other way around. This map follows our constitution and supports fair representation.
Holly Kirsten
Allow our communities to be represented fairly.
Melinda Dillard
Please use the independent redistricting map. I prefer this purple map. Communities should be kept together.
Rebecca Joplin
I like that this map keeps southeastern Utah in one district, hopefully providing better representation for our shared communities.
Benjamin Wu
I am in favor of this map. The maps put forth by the UIRC are less biased than the egregiously-partisan ones proposed by the legislature.
Danielle Swopes
This map seems fair.
Tanner Olson
People seem to be more in favor of this map, but I'm not wholly convinced. There's a lot of weird scraggly bits in cedar hills that feel pretty pick-and-choosey. I do like highland and alpine being grouped together though. You can hardly tell us apart from one another.
Nicole Kunz
Of the independently drawn maps (WHICH IS WHAT WE VOTED FOR) I think this one does the best job keeping communities together. I feel the lines drawn here make more sense with the city lines (for the most part) in splitting these districts.
Jessica George
No map is going to be perfect, but I think this one is the best! Do I dare to dream that I will have fair representation?!
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.
Brianne Hansen
I live in this part of American Fork and I think pairing it with Vineyard is an excellent choice. Overall, this map feels good to me!
Joel Barber
Thank you UIRC for producing well crafted non-partisan maps just like the *majority* of Utah voters wanted.
Shauna Phelps
I'm not a big fan of cutting the east side of West Mountain area in half - which is exactly what happened here.
Annie Putman
This is a fair, objective map, and the lines are drawn to best group people with shared values and experiences. This map pays attention to important interest groups, both racial/ethnic, as well as rural communities that have specific needs in their representation. I think this map offers a good chance for all Utahns to feel like their voices are present in our state legislature. Most importantly, this map is a much better, more fair, and more representative map than the map proposed by the Legislative Redistricting Commission.
Antonia Sears
The Sugarhouse district looks good, this is very accurate and will reflect the needs of the residents
Paul Conlon
I personally believe this map accurately represents the area I live in, and should be used for redistricting purposes.
Julianne Peck Dabling
This is the most ethical map presented to the Legislature. This is what the people of this state deserve. Do not gerrymander districts and disenfranchise us.
Denise Morgan
I support the map drawn by the UIRC. I feel that it allows for fair representation.
Margaret Smith
Makes more sense than the Legislature's attempt.
THOMAS MCCAUSLAND
This option makes the most sense for Park City as it represents a geography which has common and consistent issues. The issues for any geography east of Kamas concern agriculture, extraction and wilderness not suburban density, tourism and over development.
LINDA MCCAUSLAND
THIS MAP KEEPS OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER WITH LIKE CONCERNS, IE. THE UIRC PURPLE PROPOSAL.
Tanya Bates
This map is thoughtful and by far the one that makes the most sense to me. That being said, every map provided by UIRC would be a drastically better decision then the current map presented to us. The proposed congressional map would split the Salt Lake County areas of Sugar House, Millcreek, Murray and Holladay into four different congressional districts. How is this nightmare happening yet again?
Peter B Armentrout

I think that the legislature has acted in an unacceptably arrogant manner, in proposing districting boundaries that are not reflective of the independent redistricting recommendations.
Lisa Kelly
So many districts to look at! For the House, I feel that this UIRC recommended purple map is the best option.
Jason Baxter
I appreciate that this map tries to keep cities and broader communities grouped together. In most cases following clear geographic, major road, and city divisions.
Peter-Brandon Christensen
This is an amazing way to represent Provo! Each of these districts has citizens with needs similar to each other and distinct from the other districts.
Jon Bertrand
Another good map. Captures the regions, similarities, differences, and population nicely.
Adam Fortuna
This looks great! The focus on keeping cities and counties together, as well as places you can directly drive to makes sense.
Karli C LaMar
Thank you for keeping Rose Park with Fairpark and Glendale!
Erik Gumbrecht
Thank you for keeping Tooele County and Box Elder Counties separated. We are not actually connected with any major road which can make representation difficult.
