About this episode
It’s the freezing cold start to an election year, so we wanted to get Salt Lake City’s candidates for mayor on the record about one of the city’s most urgent issues: homelessness. In the second of three interviews, host Ali Vallarta talks with former SLC Mayor and current mayoral candidate Rocky Anderson about his record on this issue, stretching all the way back to the 2002 Olympics. A little housekeeping: Yesterday, candidate Michael Valentine gave his take on homelessness, and finally, current Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall shares her perspective on Thursday’s episode. These are not debates — each conversation focuses on the candidates’ own record and proposals. None of our guests heard the others’ interviews prior to recording theirs. And as always, we edited the conversations for length and clarity. Subscribe to our daily morning newsletter . You can find us on Instagram @CityCastSLC and Twitter @CityCastSLC .
