Mayor Dawn Ramsey of South Jordan won her second Mayoral term last November by receiving an overwhelming 91.64% of the votes. She's loved by her city, highly respected by her peers and a friend to everyone. Dawn's passion for service began at a very young age. She's a natural-born leader and skilled public speaker. Her official biography (below) is from the South Jordan City Website: https://www.sjc.utah.gov/Directory.aspx?EID=14
"Mayor Dawn R. Ramsey took office January 1, 2018. During her time in office, she has maintained a determined focus on public safety, economic development, preservation of open space, education, transportation infrastructure, access to opportunity, collaboration, representation for her city at every level, and working to guarantee that South Jordan will continue to maintain its high quality of life far into the future. Under her leadership, South Jordan continues to achieve extraordinary progress and success.
Mayor Ramsey's passion for the City of South Jordan stems from her years of service in the community. During her service on the Utah PTA Board of Directors and as Region Director over all schools in the Jordan District, she spent thousands of hours with parents, teachers, administrators, legislators and state organizations advocating for the health, safety, and educational opportunities of every child across the state.
She currently serves as the President of the Jordan Education Foundation, working to engage the community and local business leaders to help bridge the gap in education funding, providing resources that enhance educational experiences, strengthening students, and fueling success in Jordan School District. She has also served on the Boards of several nonprofits with nearly 20 years of experience managing and leading large organizations.
Prior to taking office, Mayor Ramsey also did a monthly television segment on Fox 13's The Place, discussing topics that concern families in Utah-including early intervention, service opportunities, suicide prevention, finding resources, helping children be involved in the community, and how parents and grandparents can engage in their child's education.
Mayor Ramsey is a master at public relations and collaboration. Her experience in the public and private sectors, commitment to family and community, and love for the City of South Jordan, coupled with her vision, leadership, and dedication to working with all stakeholders to plan for continued growth has prepared her well for her role as Mayor for the City of South Jordan.
Mayor Ramsey was born and raised in the Salt Lake Valley and has lived in Utah all her life. She is a sixth generation Utahn and is proud of her pioneer heritage. She attended Salt Lake Community College, the University of Utah, and Brigham Young University.
Mayor Ramsey is most proud of her role as wife, mother, and new grandmother. Her husband Dan works as an IT Executive and together their greatest joy is their six children. The Ramsey's have lived in South Jordan for over 17 years and are a community-service minded family, with each member spending countless hours volunteering time and talents to various civic, non-profit, school, and church organizations and events.

"Cameron Diehl became the Executive Director on October 16, 2017. Cameron studied political science at the University of Utah, was the Editor of the Hinckley Institute Journal of Politics, and later graduated from the University of Colorado School of Law. He started his career at ULCT as a legislative intern and returned to ULCT in 2010. During his time at ULCT, he has also been an administrative assistant, policy analyst, attorney, and Director of Government Relations. He previously worked for the Boys and Girls Club in Salt Lake City and coached basketball and football at Justice (CO), Fairview (CO), and Murray (UT) High Schools. He is an avid University of Utah fan; his paternal grandparents had their first date during the Utah State-Utah game on Thanksgiving Day in 1944 and Cameron and his family have been fixtures at Utah football games ever since. Meanwhile, his maternal grandparents met at BYU and his grandfather was later the mayor of Glenns Ferry, Idaho for 24 years. Cameron is a Murray native where he was a member of the Murray City Youth Council and attended ULCT Local Officials Day. Cameron and his wife Rachel are the proud parents of Annelise, who visited three national parks with her parents before she was four months old and Sierra, who was born during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ask Cam anything about local government, Utah history, Utah football, Jazz basketball, or politics."

In 2019, Rachel was one of my first podcast guests. She bravely shared a glimpse into daily life with her son, Carson who has a rare disease called "Congenital Muscular Dsytrophy also known as "Muscle - Eye - Brain Disease." Muscle - Eye -Brain disease impairs the frontal lobe, which for Carson means he's visually impaired, unable to speak, walk or control body movements. For Rachel, her family and for Carson's dad it means they live with an real-life-angel who brings joy, light, laughter and purpose to their lives.
Carson is as special as he is rare. His gifts include humor, wit, mischievousness and most importantly JOY!
Several years ago, I was in a slump, after talking to Rachel I was reminded that life is truly what we decide to focus on. She inspired me to 'get off the couch' and take some risks and embrace life.
She does the same thing for her children.
Rachel's confidence and personality fill the room with humor and grace. She's a realist. Down to earth and honest, genuine and raw she continues to inspire and uplift others as she shares life with Carson.
Carson is delighted by movement, animals, his family and loves to share his sense of humor and quest for adventure. He loves riding on swings, roller coasters, car rides with the windows down. He likes to tease his family and friends and faces his challenges with courage.
If you'd like to hear the first part of Carson and Rachel's story.... look for episode dated: April 29, 2019 Rachel Brown Parry: Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (Muscle Eye Brain Disease) MEB
