Jared R Gray
Eagle Mountain City Council

My experience includes my previous years serving as a city council member. Prior to that, I was on the planning commission for two years, and I’ve served on almost every board in the city. I am a business owner.  Service and being involved in the community are two things I am very passionate about. 

Alina Pringle
Fairfield Council Seat A

I play well with others…lol. I enjoy working with others. There are challenges for sure, but being able to work together toward a common goal is a reward in itself. Fairfield needs good leadership; people who strive to protect the residents while upholding the rights of others. I have a good understanding of legal processes and enjoy researching new possibilities.

Rich Wood
Eagle Mountain City Council

I served 3 years on the planning commission. I served as the chairman of the planning commission in 2019. I authored a total rewrite of most of the zoning code, wrote the master development agreement code and the planning commissions rules of order and procedure. I originated the original code language and idea for the position that is now called the director of legislative affairs. I have many partially and completed codes written that I will work with the city council to incorporate into the existing code.

Melissa Clark
Eagle Mountain City Council

I have a proven track record of success in both professional and civic roles. As the President of the Eagle Mountain Chamber of Commerce, I have been instrumental in promoting economic growth and supporting local businesses. With my leadership and an amazing team, we have fostered a thriving business community, attracted new investments and created job opportunities for residents. My professional background as a project manager and business consultant has equipped me with the skills necessary to navigate complex issues and deliver results. My service and leadership with local nonprofits has demonstrated my ability to effectively manage resources, coordinate stakeholders, and drive projects to successful completion has been recognized and valued by those I have worked with. During my service on the Eagle Mountain City Council I developed strong relationships with business leaders, government officials, and residents. I actively listen to the concerns and aspirations of the community, and I am dedicated to being a voice for the people of Eagle Mountain.

Angelina Washburn
Eagle Mountain City Council

I am a very hard worker. I love to dig in and get things done, to improve life. I lost my daughter to suicide, I have a personal urgency to help our youth with today’s struggles. I know how to get things moving. I work well with people.

Scott Ferre
Eagle Mountain City Council

I come from a long background of construction and project management. My career over the last 25 years has been to develop businesses heavily reliant on machinery and automation to provide services to automobile owners. As the function of the business is dependent largely upon the equipment and services supplied by the company I represent, I have been involved in all stages of business development. I am involved from project conception to meeting with city officials, the execution of the project and finally to providing service, maintenance, and supplies to those same customers for many years. I work well with others and maintain a positive and productive workspace. I will use this experience to bring a long-term approach to all decisions I make as a councilmember. I am approachable, I communicate well, and I am a problem solver.

Hollie McKinney
Fairfield Mayor

I have strong communication skills and pay attention to detail.  I have been Fairfields Treasure since being on town council.  I work closely with our recorder completing state audits and keeping files organized. I have negotiated and updated our CUP with the town’s largest business. I have organized the town’s Christmas Celebration down to the details of having Christmas lights installed on almost every resident’s homes.  I also organize having a food truck come to town quarterly to get residents out to socialize and pick up dinner that the town pays for. There are many other tasks that I have taken on and fully executed.             

Michael Weber
Fairfield Council Seat A

I have been in management for every company I have worked for and started and ran my own business for 3 years. I have the ability to look at all sides of the situation and take the past and future into account when thinking about all issues.

Craig Whiting
Eagle Mountain City Council

I bring extensive real estate expertise both through experience (500+ transactions closed, including several development/subdivision experience) and education (master’s degree in real estate development with a certificate in urban planning). I know EXACTLY why people move, and what causes them to choose a given neighborhood or city, and I will employ this knowledge to bring about a vision of vaulting Eagle Mountain to become buyer’s first choice of places to live. I’ve engaged in thousands of negotiations during my career, which experience will help maximize results for the citizens of Eagle Mountain, especially when it comes to working with developers. I own multiple businesses and understand the essence of frugality for financial prosperity.
