Utah Priorities Project 2016

What is the Utah Priorities Project?

Each gubernatorial election since 2004, Utah Foundation has conducted a series of surveys to determine the priorities of voters, delegates and candidates. In 2016, Utah Foundation published several reports, including analyses of the priorities of Utah voters, Utah gubernatorial candidates, and Utah party delegates. Utah Foundation also released priorities from candidates for other elected offices. Briefs on each of the top ten priorities were published between June and November, leading up to the 2016 election.
