There are policy elections and there are personality elections. The Salt Lake City mayoral race is a personality election, because either choice will result in left wing policy.
Many of us who tire of woke duplicity still find common ground on some progressive concepts and it is not to Utah’s advantage for its capital city to be dysfunctional.
Both candidates have a history of management vs staff turnover, confronting drama vs creating drama, collaboration vs alienation, doing a job vs needing a soapbox. Therefore, if the policies are similar, perhaps the best guide to choosing a mayor would be Aesop’s fable of the wind and the sun.
Bluster may be entertaining, but it is almost always ineffective, if not outright counterproductive.
