Herriman is at a crossroads. What was once a quiet, tight-knit community has become one of the fastest-growing cities in Utah—and yet, our leadership has failed to keep up. With this rapid growth has come rising crime, reckless development, strained roads, overcrowded schools, and a growing disconnect between city hall and the residents it’s supposed to serve.

As a father, veteran, and public servant, I’ve spent the past four years living, working, and raising my family right here in District 4. I’ve watched as our neighborhoods face the consequences of poor planning and misplaced priorities. I’ve spoken up at meetings, emailed the city, and even tried to engage with our mayor online—only to be ignored, blocked, and brushed aside like many of you. That’s not how leadership should work.

This campaign isn’t about ego or ambition. It’s about restoring representation and respect in Herriman. It’s about a city government that listens to its people, not one that cuts deals behind closed doors or fast-tracks rezoning requests at the expense of families. I’m running because we deserve leaders who prioritize safety over statistics, neighborhood parks over massive sports complexes, and real infrastructure over empty promises.

Herriman families are being boxed into high-density developments with no alternative, while land originally set aside for parks is quietly rezoned for more housing. Meanwhile, stabbings, shootings, and gang-linked violence—including activity tied to groups like Tren de Aragua—have begun to creep into our once-safe neighborhoods. Our roads are overwhelmed, our winters are mishandled, and our public input is routinely ignored.
