Utah House District 17
A member of the Utah House of Representatives serves a 2-year term, with all seats up for election every cycle. Representatives serve smaller districts than senators and make up the lower chamber of the legislature. Like senators, their role is to introduce and vote on laws, participate in committees, and represent constituents’ interests. Because of their shorter terms and smaller districts, representatives are often more directly responsive to local community concerns while helping shape statewide policy.

Not all school districts are able to provide the same resources for their students. How should we support school districts with lesser ability (primarily because of lower property values) to raise revenue?
The Utah State Constitution reads, in part, "Both male and female citizens of this State shall enjoy equally all civil, political and religious rights and privileges." The Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads, “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” Should Utah ratify the ERA which expresses the same view as the Utah Constitution? Explain your position.
