Congratulations to Jenny Wilson (@jennywilsonut) for winning the Salt Lake County Mayoral special election!
Thank you to Shireen Ghorbani (@shireenghorbani) and Arlyn Bradshaw (@voteforarlyn) for coming forward in the SLCounty Mayoral race to run such strong and amazing campaigns. Salt Lake County is lucky to have both of them.

‪It was great to hear from all the candidates for the Salt Lake County Mayor special election! Thanks for all that came out to hear from them! ‬#utpol

Join the Young Democrats of Utah for an afternoon with our mayoral candidates. We'll be asking them about their vision for Salt Lake County, and how their policies will matter to young people. This event is free and open to the public. YDU hopes you'll be there!

If you have questions for the candidates, DM our page and we will try to ask them during our discussion.

Tomorrow, the Dems take back the house so get ready for the #2018BlueWave to be making some changes in DC!

The Democratic 2020 Primary is about to be a really showdown

Come hang out with us and meet young Dems from all over Utah!

Sim Gill was elected as Salt Lake County District Attorney in November 2010. As a veteran prosecutor, Sim has been a champion on issues of therapeutic justice, criminal prosecution and alternatives to prosecution. He has long been an advocate of taking a systems approach to the issues of criminal and social justice, focusing on collaborative and community-oriented approaches to problem-solving. Most recently Sim has been part of a collaborative effort to address the homeless population and drug trafficking in the Rio Grande area. This has been done by holding the criminals accountable and seeking treatment before jail for those who need it. Sim graduated from the University of Utah with a B.A. degree in History and Philosophy. He received his J. D. degree and certificate of specialization in Environmental and Natural Resources Law from Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon.

In August 2017, Rosie Rivera was elected as the Salt Lake County Sheriff, the State of Utah’s first female sheriff and currently the only Latina female sheriff in a major US County. It’s an accomplishment not easily earned for the mother and grandmother who once worked the onion fields to keep her young family fed. She began her career in 1993 when she attended the police academy at a time when very few females were applying to be police officers. “I saw early on what I wanted to be,” Rivera said, “It hasn’t always been easy, but my father always told me, “never give up,” so that’s how I live my life.” Rivera’s great-grandfather was the Sheriff of Rio Arriba County, New Mexico in 1910. If the past is any predictor of the future, then it’s probably no surprise that Rivera finds herself the Sheriff of Utah’s most-populous county.

Clare is running for State Senate District 12 because she is passionate about her community. Clare has lived in the district with her husband, Que Collard, for 26 years. She raised her two son’s Zach and Chaz in Magna.

Clare is committed to finding lasting and meaningful solutions to these challenges. Clare believes in leading by example, by going to work every day, working hard, paying taxes and contributing to society. he brings a vast knowledge of coaching and mentoring others and empowering people to do things that they never thought they were capable of doing. As a former candidate for State Senate District 12 in 2014 (taking 43% of the vote in Salt Lake County) and running for State Auditor in 2008, she knows firsthand what it takes to run for office.

Kathleen's career began at Pleasant Green in Magna. She has taught 4th, 5th and 6th grade in a looping setting and multi-level classrooms. Currently, she is an Educational Technology specialist at Robert Frost and Fox Hills elementary. Kathleen not only brings her experience as a teacher but the memory of her struggles as a student.
