K-Town United: Your Voice. Our Future.
Safe neighborhoods, a vibrant Town Center, and an open, responsive city hall—built with you.
Meet Jesse
A lifelong Kearns neighbor, public servant, and proud dad.
Jesse grew up here and is raising his family in Western Hills. He spent years telling Utah’s stories as a local photojournalist and now serves the public in state government. His approach is simple: listen first, find common ground, and deliver practical results for Kearns.
He’s running for mayor to focus on neighborhood safety, a thriving Town Center, and a transparent, responsive city hall that treats every resident with respect.
