Utah House Rep. Steve Eliason, a Republican, has served in the Legislature since 2011, and the Sandy resident is seeking another term representing House District 43. This year, he faces a challenge from Democratic nominee Ofa Matagi.

According to his legislative website, Eliason currently serves as House Parliamentarian and chairs the House Public Education Appropriations Committee. He also has seats on the House Health and Human Services and the House Revenue and Taxation committees. He is a certified public accountant and works as a financial manager for University of Utah Hospital and Clinics.

Eliason makes legislative priorities of supporting public education funding; promoting fiscal responsibility; supporting mental health; and backing social services on behalf of Utah’s vulnerable communities, according to his campaign website.

Matagi is a nonprofit director and community organizer who grew up in West Valley City and now lives in Sandy. She is an environmental partnerships manager for the University of Utah’s Neighborhood Partners program, which focuses on the west side of Salt Lake County, and is also executive director of the Utah Pacific Islander Health Coalition, her online resume says.

She has focused her career on advancing health equity, environmental justice and helping underserved communities, according to a social media post by the Women’s Democratic Club of Utah, which has endorsed her.

The Salt Lake Tribune invited both candidates to answer a questionnaire featuring reader questions about affordability, government corruption, water resources and their stances on two constitutional amendments included on the ballot this year. Neither Eliason nor Matagi responded.
