Mori also held a pivotal role in the business community, working with various corporations and organizations to promote diversity and inclusion. His work with the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS) as President and CEO further underscored his commitment to empowering Asian American and Pacific Islander communities through leadership training and political participation.

Ricky Hatch: State Auditor Candidate, Current Weber County Auditor/Clerk

Meet State Auditor Candidate:  https://www.rickyhatch.com/about-ricky

"Ricky has a passion for good government. Since his election as Weber Clerk/Auditor in 2010, his mission and purpose have been to operate the Clerk/Auditor’s Office with the highest degree of integrity and transparency. He often says, “My job is to protect your money and your vote.”

That statement proves true in both the fiscal improvements he has made, and the recognition he has earned in guiding national governmental accounting standards and election policy.

Ricky is a public servant in the truest sense of the word. He is always willing to hear and discuss the recommendations and concerns of Utah’s citizens. His expertise is evidenced by the many awards he and his team have earned, and the overwhelming outflow of support he has received across the state.

 

After graduating with honors from Brigham Young University with a master’s degree in accounting, he worked as an information systems auditor and consultant for PricewaterhouseCoopers in Los Angeles and Warsaw, Poland. He worked as a business analyst and project manager in Germany and Boston. In 2002, he established, ran, and taught at a private K-12 school in Ogden, Utah, later becoming CFO and COO of a chain of private schools throughout the western U.S.

He has been honored by his peers as Utah’s County Auditor of the Year in 2013 and 2017 County Clerk of the Year in 2015 and 2022. He served as President of the Utah Association of Counties, President of the Utah Clerk and Auditor Association, and has chaired the Utah Clerk’s Legislative Committee for the past eight years.

Ricky served as the chair of Leadership Northern Utah, the leadership development program for the Ogden Weber Chamber of Commerce. A devoted fan of the U.S. Constitution, he served ten years on the Constitution Day Committee of Utah. He’s also an Eagle Scout.

Ricky has five fantastic children and three cute-as-a-button grandchildren. He speaks French, albeit slowly and with a funny accent.
