About

Hi, I'm Natalie.

"Growing up in a working-class family, I know how important it is for local government to provide public services reliably and efficiently. From keeping taxes low to protecting vital services that help families make ends meet, I will always vote with you in mind"

As a candidate with a deep personal connection to the county, I understand the transformative power of access to basic necessities. Growing up in a working-class family, I experienced firsthand the vital role that cities and counties play in helping families achieve success when their basic needs are met. Raised by my grandmother and my hardworking father, my childhood was marked by resilience and the support of community programs.

During my time on the South Salt Lake city council, I have championed issues such as creating the Financial Empowerment Center, ensuring neighborhoods are safeguarded from big businesses, and protecting the hard-earned money of working families by voting against unnecessary tax increases.

Motivated by my own experiences, I am determined to continue bringing my passion for serving the community to the Salt Lake County Council. I recognize that the county's programs have made a world of difference for me and my family, and I will continue to ensure that all families receive the same level of support and assistance that I was fortunate enough to receive.

My Values

Empowering Every Family

I firmly believe that every family, regardless of their neighborhood, deserves the chance to flourish. My commitment is to ensure that all families—whether they're small or large, traditional or non-traditional, young or old—are supported in building a future that is prosperous, safe, and full of opportunity. By focusing on essential services like quality childcare, senior services, mental health support, housing, and job opportunities, I strive to create an environment where every family has the tools and support needed to achieve their full potential. Together, we can build a foundation where every family can thrive and contribute to the strength and vitality of our community.

Economic Growth for All

I’m dedicated to fostering an economy that empowers everyone and supports the creation of generational wealth. By establishing a Financial Empowerment Center, I aim to provide the tools and resources families need to build lasting financial security. When it comes to your personal finances, I always keep you in mind. That’s why I voted against excessive taxes, ensuring that our government doesn’t add unnecessary burdens during tough times. Before considering any new taxes, it’s essential that we explore every possible solution creatively and exhaust all resources. Together, we can build a thriving economy where every community has the chance to succeed and where our collective future is bright and secure.

Accountability & Transparency

Building trust in government is at the heart of my commitment. I have dedicated myself to increasing accountability and transparency by implementing services that ensure every decision is made openly and honestly. This commitment extends to strengthening our community bonds through essential services like public safety and public works, and ensuring that your hard-earned money is used effectively. By upholding these principles, I aim to foster a stronger connection between you and your local government, where every voice is heard and valued.

Community Development

I’m committed to growing our communities in a way that enhances everyone’s quality of life while respecting our unique beauty and heritage. As we develop and expand, it’s important to honor each neighborhood’s special character and preserve what makes our areas unique. By focusing on growth that makes sense, we can build a Salt Lake County where everyone feels welcome and can still enjoy the life they want.
