Abstract

My research project was to survey the political participation of Latinos in Utah. In order to conduct my research, I concentrated mainly on conducting surveys and interviews with Latino leaders and ordinary Latino citizens; I also did a great deal of library research. I participated in the Washington Seminar during Winter Semester 1994, and I was able to interview staffers for Senator Hatch, Rep. Orton, and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC). I was also able to speak with community and state leaders in Provo and Salt Lake City. My project has great application because Utah has more Latinos than all other minority groups combined (U.S. Census, 1990).
