2024 – HB257

Opposed protections that keep boys out of girls’ bathrooms.

This law says that men can’t use women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, or changing areas in public schools and government buildings. It protects privacy, safety, and fairness for women and girls by making sure people use the facilities that match the sex on their birth certificate. It also makes schools provide private options for anyone who needs them and fines agencies that don’t follow the rules.
HB257

2023 – HB463

Voted against strengthening protections for girls’ sports.

This bill would have forced every high school athlete to show proof of sex and birthdate to play, and stopped schools from joining associations that wouldn’t enforce it—basically to protect fairness in girls’ sports.
HB463

2024 – HB585

Sponsored legislation to block schools from seeing expunged records of job applicants convicted of child pornography, sexual assault, and violent crimes.

Sponsored legislation that would have blocked schools from seeing expunged criminal records — even when those records included convictions for child pornography, sexual assault, or violent crimes. The bill stripped away critical safeguards designed to help the State Board of Education screen applicants and keep dangerous individuals out of classrooms.
HB585

2023 – HB54

On final passage of a tax cut that Utah families were counting on, Marsha Judkins was absent.

HB54

2023 – HB427

Voted NO on requiring schools to teach principles of individual freedom — then failed to vote on final passage.

This bill protects fairness and freedom in Utah classrooms. It makes sure that no student is treated better or worse because of their race, sex, or background, and that schools teach equality and individual responsibility — not blame or division.

It also says teachers and schools can still talk about history and current events, but lessons must be based on facts, respect, and fairness — not political or social agendas.

Mayor Michelle Kaufusi’s Proven Record of Success

Results you can see and a record you can trust. Explore how disciplined stewardship, smart planning, and a people-first approach are keeping Provo safe, strong, and thriving.

Wise With Your Money

Michelle Kaufusi has built her reputation on fiscal discipline and responsible management. Under her leadership, Provo’s “rainy day” reserves have reached record levels, positioning the city to meet future challenges without shifting burdens onto taxpayers. Even as costs rise nationally, Provo continues to pass a balanced and responsible budget that keeps essential services strong and taxes low.

A strong and diverse revenue base reflects a healthy, business-friendly economy, with steady growth in utilities, business fees, and sales tax. Michelle also champions efficiency and innovation across departments, from smarter operations and reduced travel to competitive grants and new technology that stretch every dollar further. Careful stewardship and strategic foresight are delivering stability today and confidence for tomorrow.

Protecting Provo’s Water & Canyons

Michelle has made clean air, clean water, and open space central to her administration’s priorities. Through unprecedented partnerships with the county, state, and federal government, she’s helped secure more than $70 million for new biking and pedestrian infrastructure—expanding transportation and recreation options for residents while improving air quality.

She recently cut the ribbon on a modern sewer treatment plant that will help restore Utah Lake and is overseeing construction of a new water treatment facility to ensure clean, reliable drinking water for generations to come.

Michelle is also leading efforts to preserve more than 100 acres of open space, protecting the natural beauty that defines Provo’s quality of life. From proactive watershed planning to permanent conservation wins in our canyons, she’s safeguarding the aquifers, streams, and open spaces that make Provo such a special place to call home.

Safe & Secure

Safety is a commitment Michelle delivers on. Provo built a new Public Safety Headquarters, added modern fire stations, and strengthened emergency preparedness across departments. The focus is simple and steady: equip first responders, modernize facilities, and keep neighborhoods safe.

Michelle has also emphasized partnerships and external funding so safety improvements do not fall on property taxpayers alone. With robust planning, upgraded emergency facilities, and a proactive mindset, every corner of Provo benefits from a safer, more secure city.

Strong Foundations, Lasting Results

To build a future that lasts, Michelle has driven transformational infrastructure improvements across Provo. She championed the new Water Reclamation Facility with key outside support, keeping the project on schedule and on budget. She has prioritized critical repair and reconstruction projects along the Provo River, improving safety and trail continuity for drivers, walkers, and cyclists.

Through a clear “Big Projects” roadmap, Provo is investing wisely in the airport, roads, parks, and essential utilities. These are the foundations that support families today and create opportunity for decades to come.

Securing Provo’s Water Future

Building on years of investment in water infrastructure, Mayor Kaufusi is leading the next generation of innovation through the Provo Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) program. This initiative will store treated Provo River water underground to replenish local aquifers that have dropped by as much as 60 feet over recent decades.

By capturing and storing water beneath the surface rather than in open reservoirs, Provo avoids costly evaporation losses and builds long-term drought resilience. Supported by city, state, and federal funding, the project includes a new treatment facility, nearly 9,000 feet of pipeline, and a booster pump station designed to restore groundwater safely and efficiently.

Through this forward-looking effort, Michelle is positioning Provo as a state leader in sustainable water management—protecting the community’s water security today while preparing for the challenges of tomorrow.

The Milken Institute ranked Provo the #1 Best-Performing City in America three years in a row, recognizing growth, innovation, and opportunity.

Collaborative Partnerships that Save Taxpayer Dollars

Michelle believes collaboration is smarter than duplication. She’s strengthened partnerships with Utah County, the Provo City School District, and neighboring cities to share facilities, recreation programs, and public safety resources. These partnerships expand services, improve efficiency, and save taxpayers millions—proving that teamwork delivers stronger communities.

A Record of Follow-Through and Results

When Michelle makes a promise, she delivers. Rather than avoiding the tough projects, Michelle tackles them head-on—taking on major infrastructure efforts like the new sewer treatment plant and Provo Airport expansion that others were hesitant to start.
