I am looking forward to interviewing another round of candidates seeking endorsements from Equality Utah tonight. I was very happy to see that I knew 5 of the 6 candidates Monday, and the 6th candidate was a surprise, a progressive Republican candidate that was very knowledgeable on LGBT issues and fully supportive. My notes and recommendations were added to those from the other members of the panel and passed on to the PAC board. Of course, my prior commitment to Equality Utah precluded me being able to attend our neighborhood block party; but yet, when I got home my neighbors were not done tearing down and I was able to have a talk with councilman Stephen Brown to talk about my concerns about UTOPIA and to get his take on why there were so many business vacancies within a couple blocks of our new home. He completely encouraged me becoming more active with the community council, for which I am considering running for a seat in the next few months. I also enjoyed briefly touching base with Senator Dabakis at his fundraiser at Cedars of Lebanon last night as well as connecting with new people and friends. Tomorrow is my time, as I plan to attend my Thursday belly dance class which I havent attended for a few weeks and Saturday is the Midvale Harvest Festival and Parade, which Im looking forward to attending. P.S. I am also getting strong encouragement to run for the Midvale City Council itself in 2015, since my district is up for reelection. I would be honored to serve the citizens of Midvale in that capacity as their voice.
