Our inspired system...

We honor our representative form of government and appreciate those willing to serve! The most important way for our representatives to be held accountable to their constituency is to allow all of their constituency to vote for them.

...is missing your voice...

Due to our current party-based election system, the majority of Utah voters are not having a say in who serves as their representative.

which results in a disconnect...

This results in our elected officials not feeling responsible to answer to the whole of Utah, to you, which results in many policies created that don't align with the will of the majority of Utahns, but instead a minority voice.
