Have you chosen your candidate and mailed or delivered your ballot yet?
The race for a new mayor is on. Final election day for primaries is next Tuesday, August 13; then the track clears from eight down to two contenders.
Here are a few tools to help you find the candidate that not only best expresses your views but that you also think can communicate best with others to get the job done. Of the audio/video, the KCPW podcast, #3, is especially well done.
- Cycling Utah: This survey asks questions relevant to CATALYST readers; not strictly geared toward cycling
- The Utah Independent Business Coalition (formerly known as the Vest Pocket Coalition) likewise asks questions beyond a strict business agenda, including air quality, housing and the contentious Inland Port. Here’s the entire survey. You’ll probably find answers to questions 5-9 of greatest interest, and also 11-12 (two questions posed by the Sugar House Chamber).
