Jill Koford for Senate District 5

Why I’m Running Hello Neighbor! My name is Jill Koford, lifelong resident of Weber County, and I’m running to represent you in the Utah Senate. I am running, first and foremost, to give you a strong voice in the discussions of our state’s future. I want to keep our government in check, and empower you to make your own decisions. I want to give back to the community that has so enriched my life, from childhood to now. I am a small business owner and educator. I went to Valley Elementary, Valley Junior High, Weber High, and Weber State University. Ten years ago, I received my Masters Degree in Education from the University of Southern California (while living here at home, of course). I have the best and most supportive husband and life partner in Rod, and three great and inspiring kids in Katie, Alex, and Gracie. Thomas Jefferson once said, “the government closest to the people serves the people best.” I agree with Jefferson, especially in a day where the federal government continues to overreach beyond their already expansive powers. The federal government is not the only problem, however, where everyday people struggle to understand the increasingly complex workings of state and local government. I love this nation and this wonderful state we get to live in, but we can absolutely do better. We can simplify, we can scale back, and we can put more control in the hands of the individual. Limited government is good government. I will be a tireless advocate for you. I pledge to communicate openly, honestly, and frequently because you deserve a representative who listens to you, shares your beliefs, and voices your concerns. I hope I can earn your support. Jill
