How lobbyists can protect and help your district

It can be tough trying to advocate for your special service district’s needs. Legislators may not fully realize how harmful certain bills will be for your district or which bills are most helpful for you and need to be passed.

You need someone to fight for you.

As a special service district, do you know what it feels like to be forgotten or overlooked by our legislators? Too often, special service districts may be seen as “shadow governments” or as less legitimate and vital to our state than regular districts.

However, that’s simply not true. Without special service districts, thousands of Utah’s citizens would be without proper irrigation; cemeteries would be in disrepair; animal control would be minimum; transportation funding would drop. And that’s just a few of the problems Utah would face without special service districts.

In order to give your citizens the best possible services, you need someone to fight for you every day in our great state’s capital. Our lawmakers often don’t fully understand what the purpose of a special service district is or how important these districts are.

Because of that, it’s crucial for special service districts to have someone who thoroughly understands them to educate our legislators. Our lobbyists work hard to ensure that the best bills are passed into law while at the same time working to stop harmful bills.

Don’t be left alone or misunderstood.
