It is an honor to serve you and our city.
As your City Council member, my role is to represent District 5 and make sure the voices of our community are heard in City Hall. I believe everyone has something to contribute, and I am committed to building strong relationships, listening closely, and working alongside you to support positive change in our neighborhoods.
My priorities are shaped by what I hear from residents — safe streets, access to green spaces, thriving local businesses, and a city government that is responsive, transparent and accountable. Whether you have a question, concern or idea, I want to hear from you.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or my constituent liaison, Gracie Rasmussen, at [email protected] or 801-535-7600.
