As the primary elections for Salt Lake City Mayor inches closer some candidates spoke at the University of Utah (The U). Hopefully this will inspire students to get out there and vote both at the primaries and the general elections coming up in November. So far the candidates all seem to be fighting tooth and nail. The S.J. Quinney College of Law at the U posted a debate between most of the candidates, rather dry but lots of information.
The really exciting part about all this is the sheer amount of interns working on the local campaigns from The U. The Daily Utah Chronicle ran a post saying that there were nearly 40 interns in the campaigns. Slowly but surely Utah’s youth are getting involved with politics and getting our voices heard. I'm anxious to see what happens.

The Hinckley has like 20-30 kids here in DC now and 40 on campaigns.. perhaps we can actually change some stuff.
And with the passing of the Education Bill to put money on public grants for higher education... it would appear we are being heard.
I think it's extremely important that people my age (21) really get into what's happening in the world.
Since people before us have a real issue with screwing things up, it's our place to decide what kind of future we would like to be living in.
