Here are Utah Cultural Alliance's 2020 endorsed candidates (more to come, stay tuned)!

Endorsement Process: First candidates request our endorsement by submitting a candidate survey (see the blog for responses). All candidates are interviewed by the endorsement committee, comprised of members from our 501c4 board. The endorsement committee asks questions to ascertain true support of the arts and humanities, evaluates the voting records of incumbents, caucus involvement, and any other useful information to make these decisions. They then make recommendations to the full 501c4 Utah Cultural Alliance board and their recommendations must be approved by at least 60% of the board in order for those candidates to receive the endorsement.

We encourage all voters who love the humanities and arts to support these candidates!
