I am working to establish a Clearfield Business Alliance that will strengthen the connection between the city and our local business community. This initiative is designed to create a unified space where entrepreneurs, business owners, and city leaders can collaborate, share resources, and address challenges together. By fostering open communication and supporting smart economic growth, the alliance will help attract new businesses, support existing ones, and create jobs that benefit residents across all neighborhoods. It will also provide networking opportunities, mentorship, and input on city policies that directly impact our local economy. A strong partnership between Clearfield and its business community builds more than just commerce. It builds long-term stability, local pride, and a city where businesses and families can grow together.

Clearfield is widely recognized as a safe, family-friendly city with crime rates below both the state and national averages. While we are not the absolute safest city in Utah, like Highland, we consistently rank as one of the more secure and supportive communities for families. I have supported efforts to hire additional police officers to match our city’s growth, strengthen community-oriented policing, and invest in modern technology that allows our officers to respond quickly and effectively. With Davis County transitioning to a virtual dispatch system, Clearfield’s decision to merge its dispatch center with Layton City has already improved emergency coordination and response times. I’ve also supported our fire services, including the expanded paramedic program and the construction of a new fire station. By keeping our public safety departments fully staffed, equipped, and connected to the community, we can maintain and build on the safe environment that makes Clearfield a great place to live.

Clearfield thrives when residents feel connected, which is why I’ve supported initiatives that bring people together and make our city a true destination. From hosting one of the largest fireworks shows in the state to leading efforts behind the city’s best parade and multiple Parties on the Bridge, I’ve championed events that create lasting memories and civic pride. These community celebrations, along with public art installations and ongoing improvements to our parks and recreational spaces, help foster a city where people want to be and connect with others. As Chair of Open Doors, I also work to ensure families in need have the resources to rise out of poverty and remain part of our community. By combining vibrant public events, safe and inclusive spaces, and meaningful support systems, we are building a stronger, more connected Clearfield for everyone.

Through their own fundraising efforts, members of the Youth Commission have had the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C. multiple times, gaining firsthand experience in civic leadership on a national level. More importantly, they have been given real-time responsibility and insight into what it takes to lead, serve, and build a community. Clearfield is committed to not just preparing the next generation, but empowering them right now.
