    Jona Whitesides for Davis County Clerk

    A Letter to County Delegates Jona Whitesides Mar 21 2 min read   Public Trust Must Be Earned:   Accountability Over Incumbency       Congratulations on Being Elected as a Delegate!       Dear Delegate,       Thank you for stepping forward and serving as a delegate. Your role is critical in preserving a system of elections that is local, accountable, and truly by the people.       I’m running as a convention-only candidate because I believe in the caucus and convention system and in the responsibility entrusted to you. I am asking for your support and vote at the County Convention on April 18th.       This race presents an important contrast. My opponent is both gathering signatures and serving as a county delegate. While each of you will form your own conclusions, I believe that raises fair questions about consistency and commitment to the caucus system.       My background includes extensive experience in financial management and auditing, including evaluating not just financials but also programs and processes to improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability. I believe those skills are essential to ensuring the Clerk’s Office earns and maintains public trust.       As you evaluate your decision, I hope you’ll consider a few key priorities:   Transparency and accountability: Strengthening public trust in how elections are conducted Leadership beyond tenure: Experience matters, but it must be paired with openness, responsiveness, and accountability Process improvement and oversight: Applying auditing principles to improve systems, accuracy, and efficiency Protecting local control: Keeping decision-making close to the people       I believe this moment calls for a fresh commitment to transparency, accountability, and measurable performance.       I also want to invite you to connect in person. The first meet and greet will be held March 25th at 6:30 PM at the Centerville Library, with additional events to follow.  Please RSVP here: Davis County Candidate Meet and Greet Events       Please reach out with any questions. I will also be reaching out personally in the coming weeks, and I want to hear directly from you about what matters most in electing our next County Clerk.       Thank you again for your service and for the time you dedicate to this important process.       Respectfully,       Jona Whitesides   801-834-1954

    Kara Toone For Utah House Seat 14

    https://www.karatoone.com/   Hi, I’m Kara Toone. I’ve lived in Davis County for more than 40 years, and I’m running to represent you in the Utah State House. ​ I was born in Vernal, and moved to Davis County when I was three years old. I grew up surrounded by people who taught me that strong communities come from everyday service. I attended Viewmont High and after graduating, went on to earn degrees from Snow College and Weber State University, later completing a Master’s in Public Policy from the University of Utah. ​ My husband, Logan, and I have lived in Clearfield since 2003. We’ve raised our four children here in the same neighborhood for more than two decades. As they grew, I stayed active in their schools and eventually joined Davis Education Foundation where I now serve as Executive Director. ​ Service has always been at the center of my life, whether volunteering in classrooms, hosting neighborhood movie nights, or advocating for at-risk students. And when I’m not doing that, you’ll find me baking, reading the news, exploring museums, or enjoying our family’s annual “22 Different Restaurants Day.” ​ I’m a lifelong Republican who has been active in promoting our party at every level. From chairing county conventions, to serving on our State Central Committee and as a county and state delegate, I believe strongly that conservative principles rooted in real results benefit families and communities. ​ Now I’m ready to take that commitment to the next level as your voice in the House of Representatives. I’m running because my roots are here, my children are growing up here, and I believe my experience and work ethic can make a real difference for House District 14. ​ I would be honored to earn your vote. ​                                   Kara Toone

    I'm running for the Utah State Senate!

    I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to represent Senate District 6 in my area as a senator in Utah State Legislature. Tami Tran, Mayor of Kaysville, Utah Elected in 2021, Tami is a trusted leader, committed community advocate, and proud Kaysville resident. She’s working every day to preserve what makes our city special while building a stronger, more connected future for all of us.       For almost 50 years, I never knew my biological family. This video shares a deeply personal part of my life: how I found my biological parents after 49½ years, and how love, family, and an unexpected connection made it possible. It’s a story that still gives me chills when I think about it.   Her Story A Life Built on Hard Work, Opportunity, and Purpose From business leadership to public service, Tami Tran’s story is rooted in gratitude, resilience, and a deep commitment to Utah families and communities.   Tami Tran’s story began in Seoul, Korea, and continued in Utah after she was adopted and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1979. From a young age, she learned the importance of family, faith, resilience, and gratitude for the opportunities this country provides. While attending BYU as a Political Science major, Tami began her professional career in mortgage lending. There, she developed a strong foundation in federal compliance, FHA construction loans, and the importance of earning people’s trust. Those lessons shaped her approach to leadership and service for years to come. That foundation led to a successful career in commercial development, real estate, and business ownership. In 2004, she co-founded a Department of Defense contracting company, where she now serves as CEO, managing teams and partnerships nationwide. Whether in business or public service, Tami is known for building strong teams, solving real problems, and leading with purpose.   Her commitment to service extends across Davis County and beyond. Tami currently serves as Chair of the Davis Technical College Board of Trustees and Chair of the Davis County Council of Governments, and she serves on multiple boards, including the Weber State University National Advisory Board. She also led the creation of the Davis County Council of Mayors, helping strengthen coordination between cities across the county. Tami’s public service began at the local level, where she served as a Planning Commissioner and later on the City Council. She is known for thoughtful decision-making, bringing people together, and finding common ground to move communities forward. A lifelong Republican, Tami has also served as both a county and state delegate, staying actively involved in the party and advocating for conservative principles rooted in limited government, fiscal responsibility, and strong communities. Tami and her husband, Ly, have been married for 35 years. They are the proud parents of two children and grandparents of three. She is a proud American who honors the Constitution, loves Utah, and remains deeply committed to serving the people who call it home.

    Dalane England… principled, patriotic, courageous, powerful

    Welcome to Happy Grateful Blessed. I’m Tami Tran, Mayor of Kaysville, Utah, and today’s conversation is one I’ve been really looking forward to. My guest is Dalane England — a woman known across Utah for her deep love of America, her unwavering commitment to the Constitution, and her ability to engage in civic life with both courage and grace. Dalane is a wife, a mother, a grandmother, and a lifelong advocate for liberty who believes that freedom is preserved not through anger or outrage, but through truth, relationships, and moral responsibility. In this episode, we talk about where her passion for America began, why gratitude is the foundation of happiness, how everyday citizens can be effective without becoming divisive, and why local leadership and personal responsibility matter now more than ever. We also explore what it really means to seek truth in an age of headlines and soundbites — and why hope for our future is not lost. This is a conversation about principles, purpose, and the power each of us has to make a difference — right where we are. I’m grateful you’re here. Let’s get started. A pivotal story in the episode is Dalane’s experience being robbed at gunpoint while working at a bank at age 19—and how local news outlets later reported major inaccuracies without interviewing anyone involved. That moment sparked her lifelong skepticism of media narratives and reinforced her belief that truth requires effort, time, and research...
