As another said, I don't hate this attempt. If we split urban and rural areas, these districts have reasonable geometry and split lines.
Lynette Doelling
The 4th district is too difficult for one representative to travel.
Martin Shupe
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.
Connor Duffy
Splitting Salt Lake County into 3 districts isn't acceptable.
Karin Harmon
This is much more representative of how Utah's population is distributed. There are just so many more voices on the Wasatch front and now Ogden is not grouped with the more rural northern Utah area
ROBERT MARKHAM
This map is not good. It splits Salt Lake County into 3 districts and even spits up some cities.
Ralph Becker
I like this map as an option
Jalee Jalalpour
I like the approach of focusing more on population than simply acreage. This approach gives better representation for the vast majority of people in the state, although I think some rural folks might want some adjustments.
Tara J Shupe
This is getting closer but still seems like an awkward split of urban interests, and the needs of the rural north are much different than those in the south.
Jason Hoggan
Like others, I appreciate this map. This is a very interesting and different approach. It's definitely focused on representation of people and not strictly based on land, like our current map mixing urban and rural in every district. I don't fully like SLCo being split into three, but this map is far more reasonable than others that split the county up into sections that don't make sense for the communities involved.
Erika Wood
I'm not mad at this attempt. The only concern I would have is that I assume the concerns of rural constituents in the North would vary from those in the South of Utah. I would love to see more comments that either confirm or refute this. Does this map make sense from the perspective of rural folks? From an urban perspective, if urban populations must be split up to ensure evenly populous districts, this seems like a very reasonable way to do that. Diluting urban voters by mixing them amongst rural voters seems like something that would hurt everyone.

I don't mind the idea of the rural donut. However, Brigham City and Logan have more in common with North Ogden than they do with St. George and Moab. Maybe just have district 1 continue following the population center more to the north? It could be a rural "U" instead of a complete donut.
Brent Budge
Nope. You have split SLC in half. Urban representation doesn't mix with Davis and Weber Counties. I get the rural donut, but Logan shouldn't get lost in the mix with St. George.
Wayne Leavitt
St. George, Logan, Vernal, and Monticello all in the same district? They might actually apprecieate that.
Aidan Thatcher
Let the interests of the rural parts of the state be theirs and the interests of the cities be theirs. This looks great! Give me representation in my city
missi christensen
It actually makes sense
missi christensen
Ok, this one is actually perfect.
Stuart Hepworth
Brigham City and Logan being in the same district as St. George is pretty absurd.
Madalyn Covey
The donut won me over! These districts balance rural and urban populations.
Teri McCabe
I like this!
Richard Harvey
The donut map may look extreme at first glance, but is a stronger option than it first appears. The most obvious objection to the map is that it is extremely difficult to travel around the entirety of provisional district 4. This is the case; it is, however, not obvious that this map worsens the ease of transportation throughout the district, as the areas which are part of provisional district 4 have been relegated in other maps (such as the approved 2024 map) to out-of-the-way, sometimes transportively-disconnected corners of other districts.
Moreover, the greatest strength of this map is that it ceases to dilute rural representation, and is the only map that preserves the community of interest which is our rural communities non-Wasatch-front population centers that anchor their economies. Rural economies are regularly subject to extreme shocks that go unnoticed by the urban population.
Give rural Utah a voice, a representative!
Blake romrell
Im not sure how this does in all the metrics but it excellently maximizes compactness of 3 out of 4 districts. Might not be the perfect map but better than some of the 5 the committee put forward in this, which is supposed ti be one of the high priorities
