All seven members of the Salt Lake City Council are backing current Mayor Erin Mendenhall in this year's election, something that former mayor Rocky Anderson — considered a leading opponent — is shrugging off.
SALT LAKE CITY — All seven members of the Salt Lake City Council announced Thursday they are endorsing Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall in the city's mayoral race this November.
"Mayor Mendenhall boldly led the city through the pandemic, through the earthquakes, through the windstorm and through the flooding; and she did it without demonizing our allies or picking fights with our would-be partners," the statement reads. "Salt Lakers deserve leaders who are more interested in making progress than playing politics, who are willing to make tough decisions rather than complaining about difficult situations and who are unafraid to work together to get results.
"The failures of the Mendenhall administration, supported by the council, have led to the severe degradation of our city," the statement reads, in part. "Fear by parents who want their children to be able to walk to school safely and use our public parks, and a lack of any reasonable progress in helping homeless people transition from their present circumstances — to the detriment of everyone in our city.
