Smart Growth, Safer Streets, Stronger Community

I’m excited to share that, with official results in, I’ve been re-elected to continue serving the people of Millcreek District 2! This would not have been possible without the incredible support of our community, and I’m honored to keep representing you.

Millcreek and the entire state of Utah are facing a housing crisis that’s making it harder for young families to own a home - and we’re already seeing the impact, with neighborhood schools closing as families are priced out. I’m committed to finding real solutions that make homeownership attainable again so Millcreek remains a place where families can put down roots and thrive.

I’ll continue focusing on safer streets, smart growth, and building a stronger community for all of us. Thank you for your trust, I look forward to ensuring Millcreek stays a great place to live, not just for us, but for generations to come.

Since taking office, I’ve been committed to making Millcreek a better place to live, work, and play. Here’s what we’ve accomplished together:

  • Housing & Development – Prioritized owner-occupied housing to ensure Millcreek remains a place where families can build equity and put down roots.
    Parks & Open Space – Helped secure funding for major improvements, including $6.5 million in grants for Millcreek Common Phase II and additional resources for green spaces.
    Scott Park – Got funding for a new parking lot, working on getting new curb and gutter to facilitate easier access. Worked with resident to get new safety measures for crossing 900 E to access Scott Park (planned installation mid 2025)

  • Road & Drainage Improvements – Oversaw the treatment of over 2 million square feet of roadway and nearly 10,000 feet of drainage upgrades to prevent flooding and improve road safety.
    Public Works Expansion – Supported grants that funded $12.5 million in capital improvement projects, including enhanced stormwater infrastructure.
    Walkability & Mobility – Integrated community feedback into sidewalk and trails planning, making Millcreek a more pedestrian-friendly city.

  • Emergency Response Upgrades – Helped develop a state-of-the-art Emergency Operations Center and secured grants to expand disaster preparedness training.
    Public Safety Investments – Strengthened partnerships with hospitals and emergency responders, ensuring a more resilient community.

  • Small Business Support – Licensed over 300 new businesses and expanded business education programs to help local entrepreneurs thrive.
    Cultural & Recreational Growth – Led efforts that brought in over $600,000 in revenue from community events, including Millcreek Farmers Market, movie nights, and cultural festivals.
    Increased Access to Services – Hosted large-scale resource fairs, digital literacy classes, and career development workshops for residents.

These accomplishments are just the beginning. With your support, we’ll continue building a Millcreek that works for everyone.
