Brad Wilson:
For procedures to improve and verify results of balloting
While not embracing the election fraud narrative, Wilson pointed to a recently completed audit of the state's election systems that called for new procedures to improve and verify the results of the balloting. "Upholding the election process is key to
our democracy, and our state will continue to provide proper oversight and ensure election integrity. Utah has high standards for elections because we proactively look for ways to improve our process and build trust," Wilson said.

Trent Staggs:
The ruling elite have created a regulatory state run amok
The ruling elite have driven our country to the brink: $34 trillion in debt, a regulatory state run amok, wokeism, weaponization of federal agencies against its citizenry, an invasion at our border, and unprecedented weakness now on the world stage--
Enough is Enough. Mayor Staggs is the only one in this race with a record of always standing up and fighting for his constituents by taking on the establishment through both words, and more importantly, ACTION.

Caroline Gleich:
Opposed to partisan gerrymandering from both sides
When asked about policies or ideas she would be willing to go against her party on, Gleich initially demurred, but when pressed, said she's opposed to partisan gerrymandering on both sides of the political spectrum. "I don't care which party is doing it:
any efforts made to divide communities for political gain, that dilutes the power of people's votes, and it makes government less effective because communitywide solutions are much harder to achieve when communities are divided," she said.
