Utah's legislative session is in full swing, and Utah's Twitter scene has picked up in activity. Many of Utah's traditional political opinion leaders have established a presence in social media on Twitter, while a few seem to be reluctant to join the conversation. We wanted to take a snapshot of who Utah's most influential opinion leaders on Twitter currently are, and that's what we did in this list.
(Author's Note: A very small minority of Utah's biggest political opinion leaders are either not on Twitter or are surprisingly inactive on Twitter. These individuals were accordingly not included in the list.)
