Endorsements

“When addressing concerns, Stephen listens and provides thoughtful responses. He truly cares about other people and wants everyone to have a chance to succeed. He researches the issues to find real solutions, and he will do a great job on the City Council.”

“Stephen is the kind of grassroots community leader we need to see on the city council. He is the only candidate on the ballot that has shown that what we need, on a local level, is someone who is willing to put in the work and implement new ideas. In order to see our community thrive, we need fresh eyes in local politics. Stephen offers us just that, a new start.”

“Stephen Otterstrom is the man for the job.

‘A government of the people, by the people, for the people.’ Abraham Lincoln’s famous quote is what I believe and is one of the main reasons why I immigrated to America. Through my activism on a vast spectrum of issues — including ICE, LGBTQ+ rights, poverty, homelessness, Black Lives Matter, Native American rights, and genocide (wherever occurring) — I see Mr. Otterstrom present.

He has never shied away from standing for the underdog. His record as an activist is the best proof that he is a man of the people for the people. I endorse his candidacy for Salt Lake City Council, and I would gladly give him my vote.”

“Stephen Otterstrom is the best placed candidate for Salt Lake City Council to address both the long and short-term solutions that homelessness requires. The community land trust home model, combined with bridging the gap with employers and communities to re-integrate formerly homeless residents, is the best way forward to alleviate homelessness long term.”
