+2012 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 equal rights and liberties of gay and transgender Utah citizens
--The weapon rights and liberties of all Utah 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 equal rights of gay Utah citizens?
--What would you do if you are elected to protect the firearm rights of Utah citizens?
--What have you done so far to protect these rights?

We considered the candidate's answers and relevant public statements, and endorsed the following candidates:
