- She will take office on Nov. 10 to serve the remaining two years of Jeff Silvestrini’s term.
- Silvestrini endorsed Jackson, citing her citywide engagement and alignment with the administration’s established vision.
- Jackson, a Millcreek native with degrees from Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University, has served as city treasurer and on the Unified Fire Authority and Unified Fire Service Area boards.
