ABOUT JACKIE
PRESENT. PRINCIPLED. ACCOUNTABLE.
Leadership rooted in experience and community.
Jackie’s roots run deep in Utah.
Her mother’s family is from Sevier County, and her father’s from South Utah County. Because of her father’s work in oil refineries, her family traveled across the country for a time. Jackie was born in Texas, but they returned home to Utah and settled in Payson.
​
Jackie grew up immersed in 4-H and rodeo. As a competitive barrel racer, she learned discipline and perseverance. During those same years, she also served as a rodeo queen, representing her community at events across the region. Those experiences shaped her work ethic, her appreciation for representing others with integrity, and her belief that leadership requires both grit and responsibility.
​
Jackie and her husband Matt, a Spanish Fork native, have been married for 13 years. Matt’s family has farmed the area for more than 170 years, spanning eight generations. Together, they are raising their two children with the same values of faith, hard work, and community that built southern Utah County.
​
Professionally, Jackie has worked at Revere Health for nearly 15 years in healthcare revenue cycle management - a field where accountability and fiscal discipline are essential. She manages complex reimbursement systems across government and commercial insurance programs, giving her firsthand experience navigating regulation, compliance, and real-world financial constraints.
​
Jackie and Matt also own 7 Bar Farming, a family business that provides specialized farm services across south Utah County. Their work supports local food production and strengthens other family farms.
​
In addition, Jackie serves as a board member of the Utah County Farm Bureau and has served as a precinct vice chair and state delegate in the Republican Party. Through these roles, she works directly with families, farmers, and community members to elevate local concerns and ensure policies reflect the realities on the ground.
​
Her experience across healthcare, small business, agriculture, and grassroots leadership has shaped her commitment to steady, practical decision-making rooted in accountability and long-term stewardship.

Why I am running
I’m running to bring steady leadership, practical experience, and a strong local voice to the Capitol. I’m a wife and mother rooted in an 8th-generation family farm. That legacy shaped how I approach long-term decision-making — building something that lasts, stewarding it responsibly, and passing it on stronger than you received it. My life bridges suburban neighborhoods and multigenerational family farms. I’ve seen how housing, water, education, and growth policy intersect — not as talking points or taglines, but as everyday realities that shape our families and our future. Over the past several years, I became deeply involved in conversations about housing, water, land use, transportation, and growth. I attended meetings, read the statutes, asked questions, and worked directly with agencies and departments to understand how state policy shapes local outcomes. What I discovered is that many decisions are driven by state-level mandates and funding structures most families never see. Housing affordability, transportation funding, water systems, and zoning authority are deeply interconnected — and state code often determines what local governments can and cannot do. For too long, many in our community have felt like they were piecing together answers on their own. District 64 deserves a representative who understands both the details and the bigger picture — and who is engaged early in the process, not just at the final vote.
How I got Here
Several years ago, our family faced a zoning change that would have severely impacted our livelihood. That experience forced me to pay attention — not just to what was being decided, but how it was being decided. I began attending city council meetings and asking questions. When I was told decisions were driven by the county, I went to the county. When regional planning groups shaped transportation and housing assumptions, I attended those meetings. When agencies or state policies were involved, I showed up there too. I wasn’t looking for conflict. I was looking for clarity. What I found was a fragmented system — where land use, transportation, housing, and water decisions are often made in separate rooms, without fully considering how they affect families living in the middle of it all. Once I understood that, I couldn’t look away. Over time, I came to understand how: • Transportation projects influence where and how housing is built • Housing targets drive density decisions that reshape neighborhoods • Water availability and infrastructure capacity are sometimes assumed rather than examined • State funding and grants quietly steer local decisions • Long-term community impacts don’t always receive the attention they deserve Many of the pressures families feel — traffic congestion, school crowding, rising costs, shifting neighborhood character — are the result of policy choices. When I first started attending meetings, it was for my own family. Then neighbors began reaching out. I began helping families understand zoning changes, traffic impacts, and development proposals — translating complex documents into plain language and connecting the right people before issues escalated. That’s the kind of leadership I believe in. I am not a career politician. I’m a mom who stayed in the room. I ask questions. I read the fine print. I follow issues across agencies until the full picture comes into focus. Leadership isn’t about being loud. It’s about being steady. It’s about doing the homework. And it’s about making sure families have a voice when decisions shape their future. Our district deserves representation that understands how growth, transportation, housing, and water are connected — and how those connections affect everyday families. I’m running to ensure policy decisions strengthen our communities instead of destabilizing them.
