Rep. Verona Mauga measured against the Utah House Democratic Caucus's 2026 priorities. The Utah Democratic Party's own platform (April 2024) states broad values with no planks a bill can be checked against, so Democrats in both chambers are measured against the House Democratic Caucus's 2026 agenda, the most specific one either Democratic caucus published.
