I strongly support the Escamilla/Owens map because it delivers on the goals of Proposition 4—fairness, competitiveness, and representation. This map is compact, respects population diversity, and creates truly competitive districts that give voters a real chance to be heard. Although it divides some cities and counties more than other maps, these divisions are necessary to ensure a balanced mix of urban and rural interests, and they prevent unfair partisan advantages. Utahns voted for Prop 4 to move beyond gerrymandering, and the Escamilla/Owens map is the best choice to honor that commitment and secure fair, effective congressional representation.

Most of the districts on this map appear to be fair, with only minor deviations in population (generally around 0.5% at most, with few exceptions). There are very few splits or "spears" of one district into another and when looking closer they are reasonable to balance population as best as possible.

Gerrymandering protects the party in power, and keeps incumbents in power. It is immoral and wrong, wrong, wrong. The message Robert Azson sent today defending and justifying the changing of the district boundaries, is pathetic. Stop it! Stop it now! Let the voters decide who they want to represent them rather than the politicians. C'mon you guys. You know this is true.

I want map C because it respects the criteria of equal population, it preserves traditional neighborhoods, minimizes municipal and county splits, and just makes sense!

I am opposed to all redistricting maps prepared by Utah State Legislative members. The Public voted for an independent redistricting committee and all proposed maps to be considered should be prepared by that committee!

Utahns demanded fair maps in 2018. Instead, we got politicians dragging their feet, telling us they’re redrawing ‘under protest’ only because the Supreme Court made them. We deserve independent maps that reflect our communities which is what we voted for.

Go back to the Independent redistricting proposal. It is the best, moral, ethical version which provides representation for the people of salt lake county.

This map unnecessarily divides the community of Greater Park City, which includes Kimball Junction, Summit Park and Silver Summit.

do not split Park City
