2024 Eleanor Roosevelt Awardee

Congratulations to Senator Luz Escamilla, this year’s winner of the Eleanor Roosevelt Award.

Senator Escamilla has been a trailblazer since her election to the Utah State Senate in 2008, when she became the first Latina elected to that body and the first immigrant elected to the Utah State Legislature. Now serving her fourth term and holding the position of Minority Leader, she continues to drive impactful change through her legislative initiatives.

Throughout her 15-year tenure, Senator Escamilla has focused on the well-being of Utah's families, addressing social determinants of health and working to improve healthcare outcomes and quality of life. Her advocacy extends to working families and children, encompassing issues such as healthcare access, food security, air quality, transportation, childcare, and home visiting services.
