Voting record

All votes by Stephanie Pitcher

Law and public administration

Stephanie Pitcher is an attorney whose education includes a Master of Public Administration and a law degree from the University of Utah. Her Senate caucus biography also records an International Candidate Master title in chess and eight Utah women's state championships. Those details describe a professional and personal background combining legal practice, public administration and competitive chess before and alongside elected service. ^[1]

Four House years before the Senate

Pitcher served four years in the Utah House before winning election to the Senate in November 2022. Her current office is Senate District 14 in Salt Lake County, including parts of several central and eastern valley communities. The Legislature's 2019 service-start date reflects her earlier House tenure; it should not be read as the year she entered the Senate. ^{[1] [2]}

Criminal justice, transparency and families

The Senate Democratic caucus describes governmental transparency and criminal-justice reform as major areas of Pitcher's work. Its biography also points to efforts involving vehicle emissions, childcare for state employees, campaign-fund childcare expenses and address confidentiality for victims. These are attributed descriptions of her legislative record; each measure has its own text and history, rather than representing a single program or policy outcome. ^[1]
