After much consideration, I am officially announcing my candidacy for Lehi City Council.
I’m running because I believe it’s time to bring a fresh perspective to city leadership—one focused on strengthening the relationship between development and infrastructure, improving budget transparency, and ensuring public service isn’t treated as a lifetime appointment.
Lehi is home to incredible people, thriving businesses, and dedicated public servants. I look forward to serving alongside them.
A special thank you to our outstanding Lehi Police Department and other first responders, I truly believe they are among the best in the state, and I feel safer every day because of their commitment and professionalism. They deserve our full support and proper funding before projects that don’t represent our immediate needs.
