☆ Affordable Housing and Homelessness Are Top Issues in Salt Lake City's Ranked-Choice Mayoral Race
  + stars: | 2023-11-21 | by ( Associated Press | Nov. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +2 min
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Erin Mendenhall is seeking reelection as mayor of Utah’s capital Tuesday in a ranked-choice contest that includes a challenge by former Mayor Rocky Anderson. Anderson, who served two terms from 2000-2008, has criticized Mendenhall for not doing enough to alleviate the rising cost of housing. "Salt Lake City is building more affordable housing than every mayoral administration combined by a lot — 413% increase in our investment in the creation of affordable housing units. However the affordable housing being built has been for those with incomes far higher than most service industry workers make, Valentine pointed out. It is the first Salt Lake City mayor's race since the capital, along with a number of Utah cities instituted ranked-choice voting in 2021.

☆ A GOP former state lawmaker who voted for Biden in 2020, was against overturning Roe v. Wade, and supported impeaching Trump could soon be headed to Congress
  + stars: | 2023-09-04 | by ( Bryan Metzger | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Former Utah state Rep. Becky Edwards could soon be House Republicans' newest member. She voted for Biden, backed impeaching Trump, and said Roe v. Wade didn't need to be revisited. Edwards holds a massive lead ahead of Tuesday's special primary election, according to one recent poll. AdvertisementAdvertisementEdwards, who served for 10 years in the Utah state House from 2009 to 2019, has notably declined to attend any debates and has avoided on-camera interviews during the special election campaign. "One thing I admire about Mitt Romney is his commitment to follow his conscience," Edwards told the Tribune last year.

☆ How Utah's Evan McMullin could become a key U.S. Senate power broker

"If we prevail in this race, it will make Utah the most influential state in the union, because nothing will get through the Senate without Utah's support," said McMullin. A former CIA operations officer, McMullin was a Republican until 2016, when Donald Trump won the party's nomination to run for president. But this year, Utah Democrats opted not to nominate a challenger to Lee, a two-term hard-line conservative, ceding the field to McMullin's challenge. Lee dismissed his rival on Monday night as "an opportunistic gadfly supported by the Democratic Party." "You've refused to talk about which party you'd join," Lee told McMullin.
☆ Utah Independent Senate candidate Evan McMullin says GOP Sen. Mike Lee 'sits on his hands until it's time to vote No'
  + stars: | 2022-10-16 | by ( John L. Dorman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Evan McMullin reaffirmed that he wouldn't caucus with either party if elected to the Senate as an Independent. McMullin contrasted his independence with Mike Lee, his Republican general election opponent. Todd presented a scenario of the Senate having 50-49 composition, with McMullin potentially being a deciding vote on the body's leadership. I think that this will give Utah an added value of influence in the Senate that it just doesn't have. Polling in recent months has largely shown a competitive contest between McMullin and Lee in the solidly Republican state.
☆ Utah GOP Sen. Mike Lee urges Mitt Romney to back his reelection campaign against Evan McMullin: 'Please get on board'

GOP Sen. Mike Lee on Tuesday urged fellow Utahn Mitt Romney to back his reelection campaign. During a Fox News interview, Lee said that Romney's support could help the GOP win back the Senate. Romney previously said he wouldn't endorse — as he is friends with Lee and challenger Evan McMullin. Evan McMullin is running as an independent candidate in the 2022 Utah Senate race. Among likely voters, the race remained largely unchanged, with Lee leading McMullin 42% to 37% — and 12% of respondents stating that they were undecided.
☆ GOP Sen. Mike Lee holds a narrow edge over independent Evan McMullin in the Utah Senate race: poll
  + stars: | 2022-09-24 | by ( John L. Dorman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Mike Lee leads Evan McMullin 36%-34% in a new Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll. The Utah Senate race is shaping up to be one of the most competitive statewide contests in years. "Mike Lee needs some of the moderates and Evan McMullin needs all the moderates and liberals he can convince, but those groups are in a quandary." And while Republican candidates generally enjoy a healthy financial advantage in Utah, McMullin has been able to remain competitive with the incumbent. In the last Deseret News/Hinckley poll — which was conducted in July — Lee held a 41%-36% lead over McMullin.
