Your 2022 Candidates

Canice Harte – County Council Seat E

https://votecanice.com/

I pledge to represent all the citizens of Summit County and to ensure the voices of our community are heard and respected as we navigate the unprecedented growth and change before us. Together we can turn these challenges into opportunities to build a future that respects the unique character of Summit County and maintains our sense of place.

Summit County has been my home for more than 16 years. My wife Katy Wang, Executive Director of Park City Film, and I are raising two extraordinary daughters who are enrolled in our public schools. I learned my leadership skills in the United States Marine Corps and my passion for service to our country informs my decision to seek public office today. I work in the outdoor sports industry and believe wholeheartedly that stewardship of our environment is vital to the future of Summit County.

Having started two small businesses in our county I believe the appropriate role of government is to foster an environment that allows individuals and businesses to innovate and excel. I am active in Rotary International, serving as a Past President of Park City Rotary and a Past Assistant Governor for Rotary district 5420.

My commitment to our community is reflected in my volunteer activities. I am a Board member of Friends of Summit County Search and Rescue and serve as an active member of the Summit County Search and Rescue Team. My seven years of service on the Snyderville Basin Planning Commission means that if elected, I will hit the ground running taking on the challenges and opportunities posed by the unparalleled growth facing our County.

My passion for this community runs deep and if elected, I promise to be a tireless advocate for all the residents of Summit County.

Sincerely,
Canice Harte

Kris Campbell – House District 4

https://www.kris4utah.com/

Kris Campbell has lived in unincorporated western Summit County for 12 years (Summit Park, Timberline and Silver Creek neighborhoods near Park City). He was raised riding horses in eastern Wyoming and spent some time after college in central Pennsylvania before moving back to the mountains and high valleys of the West. He has two smart, considerate daughters with plenty of personality that keep him on his toes.

After years of feeling frustrated and helpless watching the Utah legislature produce so many flawed laws, Kris realized he could either let go of his concerns or take action to create positive change.  He chose to act by helping to coordinate signature gathering efforts in Summit County for the tax reform referendum in 2019.  In 2021, he advocated for fair boundaries during the once-a-decade redistricting process as part of the class project for Leadership Park City, Class 27. He has followed the legislative sessions closely since 2020, advocating for transparent, collaborative processes where legislators work with the people of Utah to meet the needs of all stakeholders.

Community service is important to Kris.  He is a board member of Mountain Mediation Center, where he plans and facilitates community conversations to build understanding and connection.  He is on the executive committee of the Summit County Communities That Care coalition to reduce youth substance use and suicide.  He is a member of Park City’s LGBTQ+ Task Force which seeks to create, maintain, and enliven inclusivity for the LGBTQ+ community in order to help the Wasatch Back become a place where all people feel they belong.  

He was a software and systems engineer for several years, before joining the University of Utah, where he wrote software to study brain images of autistic people and people with Alzheimer’s.  He then spent eight years developing new methods to study brain images as part of earning a PhD in Computing at the University of Utah.  He is now a postdoctoral research fellow at the U.

Kris loves playing soccer, puzzles, playing games with his kids, volunteering with their school’s art program, and exploring the trails around Park City and in the Uintas.

Meredith Reed – Park City School District 4 (Non-Partisan Race)

https://www.reed4pcschools.com/

I will listen, build consensus, and bring professionalism and accountability to the board.​

I am passionate about working for our students, supporting our educators and staff, and ensuring that we are providing a safe, world-class learning environment across the district. By building trust and collaborating with all of our community stakeholders, we can meet that goal.

I am a proud mother of four children in the Park City school district, a veteran, realtor, small business owner, and former project management professional with over twenty years of experience leading teams and providing project management and strategic communication support to nationwide programs. By virtue of my team leadership within government agencies, I understand the importance of communication between the government and the community. 

I hold a master’s degree from Vanderbilt University. Through my military service as an Air Force chaplain, my work with multiple programs with the Department of Defense and Department of Veteran Affairs, as well as my leadership to various community organizations, I have honed my listening skills. I believe we can work together to create meaningful change that impacts our children and families and our entire community. 

Nick Hill – Park City School District 5 (Non-Partisan Race)

https://www.nick4pc.com/

Nick Hill is running to restore integrity and transparency to the Park City School Board. He will bring open collaboration and promote accountability across the district administration.

Nick grew up in southeast England before immigrating to the U.S. in 2008 and naturalizing as a U.S. citizen in 2019. He is the dad of a 3rd grader at Parley’s Park Elementary, an avid golfer, snowboarder, and project management professional with over 20 years of experience across technology and professional services industries where he has worked with diverse groups of stakeholders at all levels of organizations large and small. Through his professional experience, supplemented with a Master’s Degree in Organizational Leadership from the University of Colorado Boulder, he knows how to work collaboratively to drive success in complex organizations. 

Nick understands the strength that comes from authentic, inclusive, ethical leadership. Now more than ever, our children and educators need support to navigate the unprecedented challenges of our times. Parents, teachers, and other district stakeholders must be empowered to communicate and question issues that directly impact our children without fear of reprisal. School board meetings must show the public productive discussion and bring decision-making into the open.

Open and honest communication channels, transparent decision-making, and demonstrated accountability for the District’s failures are essential to restoring trust in both the Board and the wider district administration. When we are honest about the challenges our school district faces, we can move forward together to meet those challenges. We can give our world-class ski town the world-class school system it deserves.
