‘Trib Talk’: Mayoral candidate Luz Escamilla says Utah should be rooting for Salt Lake City

The race to be the next mayor of Salt Lake City is down to two candidates — city councilwoman Erin Mendenhall and state Senator Luz Escamilla.

In part 2 of this month’s “Trib Talk” podcast, Escamilla describes her vision for a city that supports, and is supported by, the entire state, that invests in education beyond the traditional K-12 system, and that makes it easier for residents to engage with, and get help from, their government.
