Bayley Joy Hedglin Declaration of Candidacy
Bayley Hedglin – Candidate for Mayor As the current mayor of Monticello and Associate Director of Development for Utah State University, I’ve dedicated my career to building strong, resilient rural communities. I’m running for re-election to continue the work we've started strengthening infrastructure, supporting local businesses, and expanding educational and economic opportunities for our residents. I serve on the boards of the Utah League of Cities and Towns and the Southeastern Utah Economic Development District (SERDA), where I advocate for rural voices and help shape policy and investment strategies that directly benefit our region. I’m also a board member with Utah Women Run, working to empower more women to lead in public service. Whether it’s securing resources for local nursing students or advancing economic initiatives for Native youth, I bring people together to get things done. Monticello is more than my hometown, it’s where I raise my family and invest in our shared future. I believe in transparent leadership, community partnerships, and a vision that honors both tradition and progress. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together and excited for what comes next.
