I hope to be the first woman elected as Herriman City’s Mayor. I am running for Mayor to make our growing city a better place.

I grew up in a small town with politics all around me. My dad, Gary Perea, was County Commissioner for White Pine County for 12 years. As his daughter I helped support him, see what it was like to campaign and learn much about the world of politics.

I am a Combat Veteran in the Military having served 10 years in the National Guard. I have been deployed to Iraq with a great unit. I led and prevailed the troops to help with our communities.

As Mayor, I will,

• Help our growing community, with Olympia coming in I will get our town ready for the influx of people.
  
• I will figure out the financial area to help bring in businesses and help our growing city. I will help the police become bigger with our growing community and fight for a Post Office here in Herriman City.
  
• I will bring our community together more. Bring in more community markets, cleaning up the community as a whole, and promoting small businesses.
  

My Family and I moved to Herriman because we love the scenery and how friendly this community is. It is a great thing to be a mother and a role model for my daughter and other girls showing we can lead our community together. I hope to help and see this great community grow.

Final Financial Report

My mom and dad instilled in me a deep sense of duty to community.  I was born and raised in Draper and learned the value of community service watching my father serve in many different ways throughout the city.  My mom also served with the volunteer ambulance service, whenever the pager went off she would respond, no matter day and night.  They were dedicated to being trustworthy, working hard, and helping others.  

We’ve had some challenges in the Mayor’s office in recent years, and at this critical time, it is important that we restore trust and accountability. 

• I am passionate about serving the citizens of Herriman in a way that restores trust and confidence.  More than ever, an unwavering commitment to Reinvigorate Outreach to Citizens, Transparency and Accountability are paramount. 
  

I began working in the Fire/EMS service in 1993 as a volunteer on a Draper City Ambulance.  I’ve worked in different roles throughout the Valley, including many different leadership positions.  I have been a firefighter, paramedic, and LifeFlight medic.  I currently serve as the Fire Chief in Draper, where I was asked to build the department from the ground up.  It’s rewarding to be where my mother served and where I started.  

• I have extensive experience working with municipal government, responsible municipal budgeting, prioritizing needs, and creatively solving problems, through both good and difficult times.  I understand the direct affect that City decisions can have on quality-of-life issues for people. 
  
• To successfully resolve challenges we have to realize that, what may initially seem like an easy answer, is often much more difficult when the limitations of reality and unintended consequences are considered.  There are no easy answers to housing issues, but we can employ a variety of tools to address crowding - Increased setbacks, limits to the percentage of rentals allowed, innovative landscaping are just some of those options.     
  

My wife Tangie and I moved to 20 years ago when there were about 1,000 people here.  We loved the “Herriman Feel” and it just really fit who we are.  

• We must prioritize staying Family Oriented, Keeping Open Spaces, and Providing a variety of Recreational Opportunities.   
  
• Growth has brought many challenges that must be addressed by proactively engaging with citizens in a very transparent, reasoned, conscientious way that fosters that ‘Herriman Feel.’  
  

I served on the Planning Commission for eight years; elected as Chair for the last five.  In August 2013 I was appointed and served 5 months as Interim Mayor and worked hard re-establishing the City’s vision and priorities following the resignation of the Mayor.  I was later elected to the City Council in 2018.  

• Economic growth will continue to be priority of mine, working on the Anthem Commercial Center with Winco as anchor; Herriman Corners, including VASA Fitness and Ace Hardware; Lee’s Market under construction near The Real Complex; and the Automall property with surrounding commercial, including The Garage Grill.
