This Friday, Feb. 15, 2013 photo shows representatives on the floor of the Utah House of Representatives at the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City. Men vastly outnumber women in Utah's House and Senate. Half of the state is female, but fewer than one in five legislators are women. Nationally, the Utah legislature ranks behind all but four states for its percentage of women. Now, lawmakers and others are working to change that by recruiting female candidates.
