Sherrie Hall Everett was consistently the most prepared, the most knowledgeable and the most proactive in plans to address major issues like housing, 820 North traffic, west side growth, taxes, transit, and smart economic development.

While her personality is not as smooth as Provo’s seasoned and current Mayor John Curtis or as approachable as Kaufusi, she is a straight shooter, and we respect that. Perhaps her biggest obstacle — her position as co-vice chair on Utah Transit Authority’s Board of Directors — could become a great asset to the city. We see her inner knowledge of the good, bad and ugly of UTA as a benefit if she were to lead Provo. She would surely know how the citizens should best navigate this organization, and others, as continued growth comes. After all, it is fortunate that we have had a strong, local voice that has been able to influence UTA to make necessary changes, and to increase transparency in an organization with a reputation problem here.

Hall Everett sees the projected growth of our city as an opportunity. This is a valuable outlook that will position Provo as a continued leading government among neighboring cities that are asking how they can slow down growth or prevent it.

This election, voters simply have a choice between bad, better and best.

And we believe Hall Everett will be able to hit the ground running and effectively fill the responsibilities of mayor, immediately and the best out of the candidates.

I remember very clearly the day Sherrie Hall Everett was appointed to represent Utah County on the UTA Board of Trustees. I called people I know in UC that knew her, and heard that she was no-nonsense, get things done "reformer". When I called her to welcome her to the Board, I got the same impression. How did she do that? She didn't come in looking for sound bites. She didn't come in looking to see what she could destroy. She came in and learned about stuff. She figured out where she could make a difference, and did so. She still is. She's Vice Chair now, because she's good at what she does. Despite media reports to the contrary, no Board member that I served with is getting rich off this service. In fact, most of us took a financial hit to serve. That's their choice. The hits to their character taken daily are NOT what they signed on for. My suggestion to ANY new Trustee serving on this Board is to listen, learn and THEN make a real difference. Do the work first. Is the agency perfect? Certainly not. Are they trying their hardest? No doubt in my mind. Have the changes made any difference? Yes. Thank you, Sherrie for being willing to stand in the crosshairs be part of the change.

—Chris Sloan, UTA Board of Trustees, Former Vice Chair

Sherrie is a deep thinker, remarkably patient, genuinely caring, kind, intelligent, resourceful, collaborative and well informed person. She thinks carefully before she speaks and says what she means. And builds bridges of respect in the process.

I have witnessed Sherrie make difficult decisions with clarity of purpose. Most importantly, she is always sincere and open, resulting in trust and respect from colleagues and the public with whom she works. When needed, she is willing to make difficult decisions for the benefit of Provo citizens’ majority while maintaining cordial relations with a sometimes vocal minority.

—Ben S. Markham, Provo resident, Former Chair of Provo's Transportation Mobility Advisory Committee

Sherrie has the smarts, the network, the confidence, and the leadership experience to keep Provo's trajectory moving in the direction we are enjoying. She is inclusive and knows how to get the job done. Mayor Curtis set some great things in motion for our city, and Sherrie will not only be able to maintain Provo's epic-ness, but she will be able to build upon it. Her experience on the city council, and various boards on the local and state level will give Provo a strongly competitive position as we build for the future! Sherrie is what Provo needs RIGHT NOW! Join me in helping to build Provo's exciting future.

Sherrie is interested in Provo and Utah as a whole. She is open to listening to everyone and researches the issues. She will look for an answer that is best for Provo and its residents. She is approachable and interested in how decisions impact residents. I fully support Sherrie for Mayor for our great city!

Sherrie Hall Everett is an excellent choice for Mayor and as a long term resident knows not just the history but the people of Provo. There is not much in Utah county or Provo in particular that Sherrie hasn't been in the middle of or at least in the close periphery. She has forged great relationships on all sides of the important issues to the people of Provo and has always been a standard of the values and culture of Provo. She is respectful of the past. Yet mindful of the future.

Sherrie Hall Everett: understanding, business friendly, accurate, She is what "Provo needs next." She has the ability to take a bunch of information that's not cohesive and make it understandable "for the rest of us." She will listen, and understand, and find solutions that work for everyone.

—Tosh Metzger, Provo resident and business owner

Sherrie utilizes her listening skills to incorporate and include a diversity of voices for an end result of the whole being better than the one. She is a team builder. She’s leads with effortless ability and allows others equal momentum. She will make an exceptional mayor.

—Cynthia Dayton, Former Provo Council Chair

I've know Sherrie since we were in college. I have watched her navigate the same life challenges that we all face. Each and every time she's been faced with a choice she has thoughtfully and deliberately selected the course of action she believed best for all. Not once have I ever known her to choose less than the best of all options available for the sake of convenience or personal benefit at the expense of other people. That kind of integrity combined with her extensive involvement in local issues makes her uniquely qualified to be the next mayor of Provo, Utah. Vote for Sherrie. I know I will!

Sherrie knows neighborhoods, entrepreneurism, city government, volunteerism, service, and many other things necessary to step into the big shoes (or socks) of Mayor Curtis. But most importantly, Sherrie has the desire, passion and resumé to get the job done, making sure Provo's great leadership won't miss a beat.

Sherrie is what future Provo needs to preserve what we love and build on to create great generations to come.

—Dave Lewis, Music Director at Community Church

You know how sometimes you wish you could vote on something, but you can't? The Provo City mayoral race is something to which I wish I could contribute - especially since I work in Provo. Since I can't vote, I'll use my voice to encourage those who can vote to thoughtfully consider Sherrie Hall Everett. She is the best prepared for the job and is passionate about the community and its people. She is experienced, an effective communicator, and generous servant. She is action-oriented, yet compassionate. She has a vision for the future and also respects the past. She is THE best prepared for this job. Now ends my PSA. Almost. #VoteSherrie

Sherrie has years of experience as a mother, resident, business owner, volunteer, and public servant in Provo. She understands Provo as few do. To call her the "UTA lady" is grossly selling her short--her work at UTA is only the tip of the iceberg. She will manage Provo's growth properly and continue what Mayor Curtis established.

Sherrie has decades of leadership experience, great ideas, and values the quality of life for Provo's citizens. I personally like that she supports smart city growth, preserving our open spaces, and planning our streets for multiple user types - cyclists, pedestrians, and transit included. I support her for Provo's next mayor!
