+ 2010 UTAH CANDIDATE ENDORSEMENTS

Since 2004, Stonewall Shooting Sports of Utah has asked candidates for elected public office for their opinions about matters which are important to our supporters. We have endorsed hundreds of candidates from every political party in the state and, as a result, have helped shape public policy.

Our endorsement is based on a candidate's support of protecting:

--The weapon rights of all citizens
--The equal rights of gay and transgender citizens

To help us determine a candidate's support, we asked the following questions:

--What would you do if you are elected to protect the weapon rights of Utah citizens?
--What would you do if you are elected to protect the equal rights of gay Utah citizens?
--What have you done so far to protect these rights?

The candidate's answers and relevant public-policy actions were considered. SSSU endorsed the following candidates who are challenged for election at the Utah General Election:
