(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Salt Lake City Sen. Luz Escamilla launches her official campaign for city mayor from the steps of the Salt Lake City and County building on Tuesday, March 26, 2019. As the city grows and becomes more diverse, Escamilla says she would represent a number of overlooked communities, including the Latino population and the city’s west side. If elected, she would likely be the first ethnic minority mayor of Salt Lake City and would be only the third woman to hold the position.
