As supporters of Luz Escamilla, we have been happy to observe how many voters actively support her policy proposals. We have also noticed voters weighing two particular issues that we would like to address here. The first concerns her membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and the second concerns her depth of experience for the job of mayor.
Let’s start with her church affiliation (which shouldn’t matter at all, but inevitably becomes an issue in Utah politics). Some have questioned how Luz’s progressive policies square with her church affiliation. We can speak to this issue from direct personal experience.
