Sen. Scott Sandall issues the following statement regarding the Utah Supreme Court’s decision:
“I am disappointed by today’s decision. In this case, the parties devoted extensive time and resources to briefing and arguing questions about the Legislature’s constitutional power to redistrict. The Utah Supreme Court failed to address the heart of that critical constitutional question. Instead, the decision goes beyond redistricting, raising grave concerns and uncertainty in the legislative process. Elected officials meticulously deliberate policies, incorporating public feedback to ensure stability and accountability in governance. The legislative process allows every Utahn to engage in the political process and voice their perspectives. I firmly believe the best policy solutions come from the elected officials, who are held accountable by the public every two to four years. I remain steadfast in my commitment to uphold our republic’s principles and to fight for fairness and representation in our state’s governance.”
