Hello Friends and Neighbors!
I’m Garry Hrechkosy, a longtime Salt Lake County resident, former Murray City Council member, and Certified Public Accountant. I’ve spent my career working with budgets and serving in local government, and I understand how county decisions affect families, neighborhoods, and small businesses because I live those impacts every day. I believe in transparent government, responsible planning, and practical solutions that make our county work better for the people it serves.
My wife, Jill, and I are raising our four children here in Salt Lake County, which gives me a deeply personal stake in the future of our community. As a CPA, I bring financial expertise that matters in county government, where smart budgeting directly affects public safety, infrastructure, and essential services. I lead with respect and collaboration, focused on getting results rather than playing politics. I’m running for Salt Lake County Council because I want to put my experience to work for the families who call this county home. Over the next several months, I look forward to meeting the residents of Salt Lake County and hope to earn your vote.

Our County’s Future
I’m running for Salt Lake County Council at-large because our biggest challenges don’t stop at city borders and require countywide solutions. Salt Lake County needs coordinated leadership on housing affordability, infrastructure, public safety, responsible growth, and air and water resilience. As a CPA and former city councilmember, I bring a practical, results-driven approach focused on protecting essential services, managing taxpayer dollars responsibly, and delivering smart, people-centered solutions that strengthen every community across the county.
