Don Gale: For better government, Utah should elect more women
Article here. Excerpt:
'Utah voters should elect more women to the Legislature and other government positions – not to achieve some sort of gender equality but because women would surely do a better job of serving the state and its citizens. Consider what has happened already at a Utah Legislature dominated by self-serving males.
...
Surely, female legislators would be more concerned about the wishes of their constituents.
...
Surely, thoughtful women would care more about the democratic future of the state and its residents.
...
Surely, women would be more considerate about troubled young people and their need for identity.
...
In response, voters must vote for lawmakers who care about their constituents, who believe in democracy, who have compassion for youth, and who are well-informed about issues.
That means voters must elect more women.'
