You're probably getting sick of political signs, phone calls, ads etc. But for those who may be interested, here are my recommendations for the upcoming election. If you feel I'm wrong on an issue or candidate, please let me know what I'm  missing, and we can chat about it. I've tried hard to look at principles, not parties in making my decisions. In this election, it's very important that people show up and vote, and as always, the more educated we are on the issues and candidates, the better.

Utah's 1st Congressional District - Rob Bishop

2nd Congressional District (If you're in my neighborhood, this is our district) - Morgan Philpot

3rd Congressional District - Jason Chaffetz

US Senate - Mike Lee

Depending on what Utah House district you're in (http://www.le.state.ut.us/house/districtinfo/newmaps/state.htm):

Ken Sumsion

Carl Wimmer

State Senate (District 11) - Howard Stephenson

Amendments to the Constitution

A: I'm voting Yes -- Clarifying the law to ensure secret ballots

B: Yes - Eligibility for Legislative Office, clarifies to ensure person lives in district

C: Yes - Tax Exemption for non profit groups with water rights

D: No - Legislative Ethics Commission. I worry about a non elected body, having power over the state government. If there are ethics problems, let's solve them through the established channels, not through an unelected group. Additionally I don't think we need additional commissions (bureaucracies).
