The Progress Report grades legislators across four key areas that reflect our values and priorities for Utah.
Everyone deserves to live healthy, happy lives in safe neighborhoods and thriving communities. All families should be able to afford housing, put food on the table, and pay the doctor. Children of all races across the state should have safe environments in which to learn, and deserve the education that comes from quality teachers who are valued and paid for their essential work. Working Utahns should all have a stable job, living wage, and secure healthcare.
Utahns of all races, abilities, genders, religions, and sexual orientations should have access to the same opportunities and must never have their freedom to live authentically taken away from them.
People deserve to be represented by governments at the local and national levels that will fight for them, treat them fairly, and which conduct their business transparently. We are all better served when governments and elected officials are transparent, ethical, and maintain a robust and functioning public sector. For the needs of people to be met, everyone must have a voice at the ballot box and the ear of their lawmakers. A thriving democracy's authority comes from—and works for— the people, not special interests.
We all want to live in a world with drinkable water, breathable air, healthy soil for food, and beautiful outdoors where we can live and play peacefully. A healthy environment is an essential part of every human's life, and is the foundation upon which the health of current and future generations of Utahns rests.
