Our County’s Future
One County. Many Cities. Shared Results.
I’m running for the Salt Lake County Council at-large seat because some of our biggest challenges don’t stop at city borders. Housing, transportation, public safety coordination, homelessness response, and air and water resilience require cities and the county working from the same playbook. My job as an at-large councilmember will be to bring leaders together, reduce duplication, and deliver results that help every community in Salt Lake County.
Below are some of the priorities I will focus on as your councilmember:
Coordinated Countywide Leadership
Salt Lake County is strongest when our cities are pulling in the same direction. As an at-large councilmember, I will bring city leaders and county departments together through a standing “Cities + County Cabinet” and build a voluntary countywide planning framework so we can align housing, transportation, infrastructure, public safety, and homelessness response around shared goals, shared metrics, and smart use of taxpayer dollars.
Safe and Affordable Neighborhoods
We can’t regulate our way into affordability. I believe the county should act as a convener and catalyst by aligning zoning goals, infrastructure timing, and incentives so the private market can build more attainable housing while protecting neighborhood safety and quality. That means distributing growth responsibly across the county, linking housing to smart infrastructure planning, and pursuing a coordinated regional approach that recognizes safety and affordability as connected and ensures a strong Salt Lake City and a thriving county overall.
Fiscal Responsibility with a CPA’s Lens
Salt Lake County is a large and complex organization, and it must be managed with discipline. As a CPA, I bring a straightforward approach focused on measuring outcomes, controlling overhead, and protecting high-impact services, because I don’t believe we have to choose between low taxes and core services. Budgeting is policy, our values show up in the line items, and I will prioritize long-term financial stability, transparent decision-making, and responsible planning that protects the essential services working families rely on.
Air and
Water
Resilience
Clean air and reliable water are not partisan issues, they are quality-of-life issues. I believe the county can lead with practical, cost-effective solutions by improving its own operations through water-smart landscaping, efficient irrigation, and responsible turf conversion, while also using its purchasing power and partnerships to lower the cost of clean energy, grow a local workforce pipeline, and pilot smart programs carefully and responsibly.
Let’s Build a County That Works Better
I’m running to bring people together, make government work better, and deliver practical results you can see in your neighborhood. If you want a council member who will coordinate across the county, protect core services, and plan responsibly for the future, I’d be honored to earn your support.
