John Petroff Announces bid for Davis County Commission
I am officially announcing my intention to run for Davis County Commissioner and to ask
for your support as a delegate. As a mayor, city councilmember, and business owner, I
believe I have been uniquely prepared to effectively address the most pressing issues facing
all of us in Davis County.
Here are some things I believe you should know about me and my positions:
BUDGET CONTROL: I strongly believe in responsible fiscal management and in getting the most from every hard-earned dollar that taxpayers entrust to government’s care. As a business owner and taxpayer myself, I am acutely aware of what responsible spending is all about. I’ve brought this same awareness and commitment to my administration in West Point, where we have returned a surplus every year that I’ve been mayor without once raising property taxes. This is why I am endorsed by fellow businessmen, State Senator Sheldon Killpack and State Representative Kevin Garn.
TRANSPORTATION: I believe that real job creation and economic prosperity are largely tied to our ability to effectively move people and goods. Good transportation is also essential to quality of life. As the Chair of Utahans for the Legacy Parkway, I successfully fought the Sierra Club and other special interest groups who stood in the way of this vital roadway. As Commissioner, I will continue to fight for Davis County’s transportation needs. This is why I have been endorsed by State Transportation Commission Chair Stuart Adams.
JOBS: I will work diligently with business and government leaders to protect existing jobs and bring additional "Family Sustaining" wages to Davis County. I have worked very hard with community leaders in West Point, Syracuse, and Clearfield to establish the Davis Technology and Economic Cooperative, which will eventually translate into hundreds of high-paying jobs in northwest Davis County. As Commissioner, I will continue to bring "Family Sustaining" wages to Davis County as I have with the D-TEC and East Gate projects. This is why I have the endorsement of Jerry Stevenson, Chairman of the Utah Defense Alliance (former Layton City Mayor).
COOPERATING FOR THE GOOD OF ALL COUNTY RESIDENTS: I am proud of the fine, strong relationships I’ve forged and enjoyed over the years with community leaders throughout the County and State. We’ve been through a lot together, and we have worked very hard to find equitable solutions to some very difficult challenges. This is why I have the endorsements of 12 Davis County Mayors and Davis County Sheriff Bud Cox.
