Here are Utah Cultural Alliance's 2019 endorsed candidates! In all cities but one, we made one endorsement per race. Most cities have at-large city council seats that go to the top three vote getters. In those instances we made up to three endorsements. 

Endorsements were decided based on survey responses and a follow up in-person interview with the endorsement committee from our 501c4 board. The endorsement committee made recommendations to the full 501c4 Utah Cultural Alliance board, and then their recommendations had to be approved by at least 60% of the board. 

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