Latter-day Saints are overrepresented in Utah’s Legislature, holding 9 of every 10 seats Lee Davidson © Scott Sommerdorf (Scott Sommerdorf | Tribune file photo) The Salt Lake LDS Temple and the Utah Capitol are seen together in 2017. Mention the supermajority at the Utah Legislature and most will assume you’re referring to the overwhelming dominance of Republicans. But there’s an even more lopsided supermajority, one that some say wields even more influence than the GOP though often in a more under-the-radar way. Eighty-nine of the 103 lawmakers to be seated Jan. 19 (with one current vacancy) are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That’s 86%. Utah’s population is 60% Latter-day Saint, according to research by The Salt Lake Tribune. Latter-day Saints also hold 100% of the state’s congressional seats and statewide political offices, such as governor.
