CARROLL

for American Fork City Council

It has been a privilege to represent you on the City Council for the past eight years. As hard as elections are, I'm grateful for the chance to share what I have worked on and how I have contributed to our city.

When I first ran for city council, I was moved by American Fork’s legacy and strong sense of community. Since elected, I have worked hard to drive and support policies that are responsible and true to American Fork’s legacy and values.

You might be wondering, "Why run again?" The answer is that I believe I am more valuable now than ever and I still have a lot to offer; I remain anxiously engaged in the work of the city and to champion initiatives that are critical. I am committed to continue to dedicate my experience and collaborative approach to represent our shared community values and priorities.

ABOUT STACI

A Legacy of Public Service

Public service runs deep in my family. I was raised in Orem in a home where civic involvement was a way of life. My father, a long-time legislator and current chairman of the Utah State Tax Commission, modeled thoughtful, effective governance. My mother, a grassroots activist and community leader, showed me the power of community engagement. Together, they taught me that it is our individual responsibility to help our communities grow. My father’s experience as a legislator, tax attorney, and state Tax Commissioner has been a valuable resource to me on the city council, helping me gain a thorough understanding of tax policies and implications.

My Family

Fifteen years ago, my husband, Diego and I moved our three children to American Fork. All three have attended American Fork schools, been involved in AF Recreation sports, and participated in community events. They are now “semi” grown and we are proud to call American Fork home.
