Key issues

A largely religious and conservative state that's less involved in issues like immigration, there is one hot-button issue that's likely to be on Utah voters' minds regardless of party -- public land use.

The federal government owns more than 60 percent of the state's land and how that land is used is very controversial not just in Utah but in the west in general.

The Salt Lake Tribune slammed Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, as a "hardliner" for opposing a public lands bill that passed the Senate last year.

"In the end, Utah’s claims for sovereignty are no match for America’s love of its scenery and the desire to keep it wild," the newspaper editorial said.
