Stephen Middleton for Utah House 48

Utah has been home to me and my family for a majority of my life. Whenever I have left for professional reasons, the mountains, the deserts, the outdoor recreation, and the family friendly environment have brought me back. For this reason, you will find me spending my free time with my family exploring this great state, skiing in the mountains, or trying new restaurants across the greater Salt Lake valley. I'm a proud father of 4 children and have been happily married to my wife Sarah for 10 years. Sarah is a CPA at a large professional accounting firm in the Valley. We have called Herriman home for the last 5 years.

Professionally I have worked in product management for the last 8 years. I currently work in an industry that manufactures advanced materials for the aerospace industry. These materials help support and protect our troops, allow planes and rotorcraft to fly farther and use less fuel, and allow wind turbines to be larger thus producing more green energy. Every day I work with cross functional teams to solve difficult problems which is a strength I bring to this campaign. 

Most of my career has been in manufacturing, supporting advanced composite materials, building materials, and water and waste management materials. I have also worked in finance for a large hospitality company. I have a bachelor’s in finance and an MBA in marketing from Brigham Young University. I attended public school at Alta High School and am a passionate believer in protecting public education in Utah with my kids attending public school in the Jordan School District.

The strengths I bring as your representative are my ability to work across the aisle as a moderate with deep experience in connecting across organizations to drive results. Throughout my career I have worked to solve important problems with various types of stakeholders; whether they were a small business owner looking to grow their operations or an organization working on building parts for the F35. I have a strong analytical and financial background allowing me to quickly weigh pro's and con's of situations and drive for solutions. With a career across multiple industries, I can draw on a variety of experiences when finding solutions that work for Utah and House District 48. I look forward to serving House District 48 in the Utah House of Representatives.

My campaign is focused on:

1. Public Education
2. Public Transportation
3. Affordable Housing
4. The Environment
