Candidate · Utah State Senate

District 20 isn’t facing
one problem.
It’s facing a system under pressure.

Housing, water, and transportation are colliding, and we’re feeling it in our roads, our communities, and our cost of living. I’ve been driving 300 miles a day listening. Here’s what changes when I win.

Housing workers can actually afford, in the communities where they work
Water systems that protect agriculture and support real growth
Transportation that works year-round, not just when the canyon is clear

Generation of Service

I’m not a Democrat or a Republican. I’m a wife, a mother of five, a grandmother, and an oilfield family. Public service and this land are in my bones. I’ve had hard years. I kept showing up anyway.

300 Miles a Day. Every County. Water, energy, rail, housing, agriculture, and public safety: one system Showing Up Before the Session Starts HB 540 passed the House 59-19 and died in committee without a hearing Infrastructure-First. Every Time. Soldier Hollow is a 2034 Olympic venue, and it sits in our district Systems Thinking. Not Slogans. 33 years in the Basin. This isn’t something she decided. It’s something she comes from.

About Annette

Rooted Here.
Running for Here.

I grew up in Moab and Heber City. I know what the Basin feels like and I know what the Wasatch Back feels like, because I’m from both. I’ve watched the north fields in Heber disappear. I’ve seen developer highways replace farm roads. I’ve listened to ranchers, truck drivers, and families who feel like nobody in Salt Lake City is paying attention.

My great-grandmother Mary Chipman served Wasatch County as clerk and auditor. My grandfather was a highway patrol officer. Service to this community isn’t something I decided to do. It’s something I come from.

The Plan

Stability
by Design

Water, energy, transportation, housing, agriculture, and public safety aren’t separate issues. They’re one system. When they’re planned together, communities are resilient.

The Difference

Participation
vs. Architecture

District 20 deserves more than committee access. It deserves a senator who shows up and a plan that connects the whole system.

The Status Quo
◦Committee chairs without a district systems plan
◦HB 540 passed the House 59-19 and died in committee without a hearing
◦Infrastructure decisions made in isolation
◦Reacting to growth after it arrives
◦Constituents who can’t reach their senator
