How we placed them
Placed only by their own votes: we took the 264 contested Senate floor votes of the 2026 session (where at least 10% voted on the losing side) and found the main line that divides how members vote, the same idea political scientists use to score Congress. No bill is labeled liberal or conservative by us; the conservative end is simply the side where most Republicans fall. More on how this works

Sen. Stephanie Pitcher 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.

Explains that the bill adds stakeholder language clarifying the process for accessing private surveillance cameras.
▶ Watch at 10:50Read what they said
Yes. This just includes some stakeholder language clarifying the process for, um, the accessing of private surveillance cameras.
S.B. 252 Water Usage at State-owned Facilities Amendments · House floor debate (day 45) · Mar 6, 2026
Presents the bill, which would require low-water turf and more efficient sprinkler systems at new state-owned facilities, and says the state should set the standard for water efficiency.
▶ Watch at 29:10Read what they said
Thank you Mr. Speaker, colleagues. This bill would require the installation of low water turf on any state owned facility. Um, it would also require, um, water efficiency in our sprinkling systems. Um, it talks a lot about distribution, uniform uniformity, and that's just a fancy way to say efficiency. Um, when we're looking at water, especially in state facilities, I think that we should set the standard for water efficiency and efficient turf and we can help save a lot of water and hopefully send it to the Great Salt Lake. And with that, I'm open to questions.

We list only town halls and questionnaires we can confirm from a public source, so a short list doesn't mean Sen. Stephanie Pitcher hasn't met with voters. A missed vote can have a good reason, such as illness or a family emergency.
