2024 Candidates
We are now pleased to announce our local candidates (and some state candidates), that will be on the ballot in October.
Nancy Huntly - Senate District 2
Balance, Community, Work.
Nancy Huntly is the Utah Democratic Party candidate for Utah Senate District 2. She is a scientist, teacher, mother, grandmother, partner, friend, and active supporter of community and public service. She will work to improve Balance in legislative discussions and in policies, to bring more focus on Our Communities and their strength, health, and resilience, and is committed to work for Better Governance, together. Nancy holds a BA in Biology, a PhD in Ecology and has decades of relevant experience in public education, ecology, environmental science, and work at the interfaces of science, management, policy, and communities. She has been a university professor, an elected officer of the Ecological Society of America, a member of many review panels and advisory boards including two terms as chair of the Independent Science Advisory Board of the Northwest Power and Conservation Council, a program officer at the National Science Foundation, Director of an interdisciplinary Center, a City Council member, and a community member of the Cache Valley Chamber of Commerce Legislative Affairs Committee. She was the founding director of a university-wide graduate program in Climate Adaptation Science and of a similar cross-university graduate fellowship program of the Southwest Climate Adaptation Science Center. Much of Nancy’s career has been about listening, learning, and working together to find positive paths forward; she will bring that approach to District 2’s representation in the Utah Senate.
Allison Goulais- Cache Council Logan #2
Allison Goulais was born and raised in Utah. She grew up in Sandy Utah and watched it grow from a small residential area to what it is today. Her mother was a hard working school teacher and guidance counselor. Her grandmother was the first woman elected to Murray City Council, her grandfather a local businessman and outdoor enthusiast. Her other grandfather was the assistant DA for Michigan. All of these people and many more have taught her the importance of community and leadership. She is an entrepreneur with a diverse background and experience in business, finance and accounting, education, healthcare, and a mother. She has worked in public service her whole life and is devoted to helping others. Her strong convictions and morals are vital for today's political climate. She deeply cares about Cache County and the opportunities it provides for its residents.
Tom Liljegren - Utah House District 2
Tom Liljegren is a lifelong educator who believes listening, learning, and collaborating are the first steps of leadership. He wants to bring that attitude as the Representative for District 2 in our Utah House of Representatives. Tom believes in making sure Cache Valley has the resources to manage our growth, while also strongly supporting education and increasing government accountability. Every member of our community deserves to be represented, and he wants to fight against any legislative efforts that do not respect the dignity of any Utahns. Our legislature should reflect the concerns of our community and make an impact that improves daily life for our valley. Tom wants to be a voice for you in making our Utah state government more civil, more collaborative, and more responsive in tackling issues that impact our community most.
Bill Campbell - Congressional District One
My campaign fully aligns with my life here in Northern Utah promoting Hope, Sensibility, and Priority U. The U represents You, Utah, USA, & Unity. My optimistic campaign contrasts with my opponent's messages of Fear and Blame while he prioritizes self and special interests. Cache Valley needs greater representation at the state and country levels. I am working, living, and supporting our neighbors (charities, clubs, Cache Chamber of Commerce) here in Cache. As a Utah State graduate and outdoor enthusiast (see pictures), fresh air, clean water and open spaces are key aspects of my physical and mental health initiatives. My business experience (prior CFO for Northern Utah's largest private employer Autoliv) and CPA, CMA, MBA technical skills assure I have the essential qualities. I am honored to make lives better in Northern Utah through my CEO role in the Campbell Care charity foundation.
