Candidate’s Statement

Today I submitted my candidate’s bio and statement to the Valley Journals. Here is what I submitted. I was limited to 150 words:

Deanna “Dee” L. Taylor (47)is a first time candidate, running for Salt Lake
County Council in District 5.

Deanna is a member and Co-Coordinator of the Desert Greens Green Party of
Utah. She is an Alternate Delegate to the Green Party of the United States.
Deanna has been a public school educator for 23 years, holding degrees in
Music Education and Curriculum and Instruction and teaching licenses in
Secondary Music and Special Education. She currently teaches grades 7-12 in a
Salt Lake City public charter school.

Deanna also participates with People for Peace and Justice of Utah as an
advocate for peace and justice issues.

Deanna sees transportation as one of the biggest issues facing our community.
She feels that revenues need to be used to build more bus routes and TRAX
lines so that constituents feel more compelled to use mass transit more and
cars less.
