I'm going to get straight to the point with this diary: this is a diary to let Daily Kos users, specifically DKE stalwarts know what (limited) strength the Utah Democrats have, as well as our potential or current candidates. I'm not going to get really into candidate biographies, but I'll let you know a little about the candidates.
Currently, we have 12 state representatives, 5 state senators, 3 city mayors, one county mayor (the only county mayor in the state), and a few city councilpeople, mostly in Salt Lake City. As of now, two weeks before the 2015 municipal elections, we also have several candidates for various offices, mostly for municipal races, but also a few early candidates for legislative offices.
One more fact; of the three state house districts we lost in 2014, we lost three by a combined 295 votes. I will point out the seats and their candidates.
I'm going to run three or four diaries for the 2015-2016 Utah Dems: one now, one after the 2015 municipal elections, possibly one after the 2016 primaries, and one after the 2016 general election. Feel free to ask anything about the diary, and mostly anything about Utah Democrats. I don't know them all, but I know of most.
