Issues

Herriman is facing a series of challenges that can no longer be ignored or brushed aside:

Reckless Growth

Our city has become a target for high-density development, often at the expense of families who want traditional homes and safe, well-planned neighborhoods. The current administration continues to rezone land originally promised for parks or open space, creating a patchwork of overbuilt subdivisions with no long-term infrastructure strategy.

Public Safety Concerns

Herriman has seen an increase in violent incidents, including shootings, stabbings, and threats tied to organized crime. While crime overall remains relatively low, the nature of these events is escalating—and city leadership has been slow to respond with meaningful solutions or stronger law enforcement presence.

Traffic & Infrastructure Failures

Unmanaged construction, lack of road coordination, winter plowing failures, and poorly designed intersections have made daily driving in Herriman frustrating and unsafe. State and city projects are frequently delayed, with little communication or accountability to residents.

Lack of Transparency

From social media censorship to rushed rezoning approvals, it’s clear that transparency is not a priority for our current leaders. Public input is too often ignored, city meetings are hard to follow, and key decisions are made without sufficient resident awareness or engagement.

Broken Promises on Parks

Many neighborhoods were promised local parks and green space—only to see those promises erased by sudden development approvals. Meanwhile, the city prioritizes large regional sports complexes that benefit outsiders over smaller, accessible parks that serve Herriman families.
