Hannah Koford Adams: Electing a woman to the U.S. Senate would help make Utah more representative.
U.S. Senate candidates Ally Isom, left, and Becky Edwards.Since this state’s conception, four women have served Utah in the U.S. House of Representatives, only one of whom served during my lifetime. Not a single woman has been elected to the U.S. Senate from Utah. Let me make that clear: It’s 2022 and a woman has never been elected to either of Utah’s Senate seats.
With Mike Lee winning the primary election against Becky Edwards and Ally Isom, and Evan McMullin poised to be Lee’s main opponent in the general election, that’s unlikely to change any time soon. Where does this leave us as a state? It certainly keeps us on track to rank worst in women’s equality nationally for the fifth year in a row. In December 2021, the Salt Lake Tribune publishedUtah can improve that ranking. The article reported that increasing the political representation of women would make a big difference, and recommended electing a woman to one of Utah’s two U.S. Senate seats.
Now it’s June 2022, and we have undeniably missed another opportunity to improve the standing of Utah women.has found that female legislators are more likely to champion legislation addressing issues of particular importance to women — including women’s rights, children and families and reproduction. For these reasons, female legislators often have closer ties to women’s advocacy organizations than their male counterparts.
