George Handley

Provo City Council, District 2

As I prepare to step down from my service on the City Council, I have studied the candidates for District 2 for several months now. I have decided to embrace the candidacy of Jeff Whitlock. Jeff has exceptional wisdom, integrity, and the communication skills that I believe are necessary for successful service on the council. He is committed to a better Provo, and I believe he will be a steadying hand on the council.

Midge Johnson

Former Provo City Councilor, Provost Resident

I'm supporting Jeff Whitlock for Provo City Council. I've been impressed with the positive, issues-focused campaign Jeff has run. He's worked very hard, actively engaging with residents throughout our entire district. I believe he'll bring new ideas and approaches to make progress on the important problems facing Provo.

Derek Hansen

Rock Canyon Resident

As someone who knows Jeff as a business entrepreneur and fellow frisbee player, I've seen him work well with different personalities in competitive situations. He's been a strong leader that has kept our group running for almost 10 years. I’ve never known anyone so willing to listen and thoughtfully consider all perspectives.

Lisa Jensen

Provo Planning Commission, Provost South Resident

As we served together for several years on the Provo Planning Commission, I saw Jeff’s business smarts, ability to analyze issues without being swayed by emotion, and willingness to study things in order to understand them better. I especially love that Jeff isn’t afraid to say hard things on complicated issues. Jeff led with skill and kindness as the Planning Commission Chair. He listens and follows up and cares about making Provo better – just the kind of leader we need. He will represent our district well as a City Councilor.

Provost Residents

I wasn't planning to vote for Jeff. But when he came out strongly for Slate Canyon before it was clear where the politics would land, I decided to learn more. The more I got to know him, the more I saw someone who listens, learns, and leads with common sense. Jeff will get things done for the variety of needs in District 2.

Jamin Rowan

Tree Streets Resident, former Planning Commission Member

Jeff’s service on the Planning Commission has given him opportunities to listen to residents on a broad range of issues and to develop an exciting vision for Provo’s future.

Gabby Sabalones

Provost South Resident

A lot of candidates say that they listen, but Jeff Whitlock actually does. I'm so excited for the skills and vision he brings to the table. Provo will be lucky to have him!

Sally Clayton

Oak Hills Resident, Former District 2 Candidate

Running in the primaries for City Council District 2 gave me a very close look at the other candidates. Here's what really stands out to me about Jeff: He's supportive of a Provo that welcomes all, he knows his stuff, and he's willing to listen to a variety of perspectives from different political backgrounds. Most importantly, Jeff is running as a true non-partisan, not beholden to party pledges or platforms. He's a free agent who'll answer to constituents, not special interests.

Thomas Tabi

Spring Creek Resident

Provo District 2 will be well served by voting for Jeff Whitlock. I’ve known Jeff for over 17 years as a missionary, friend, and colleague. I’ve seen him lead teams and solve hard problems. I’ve seen him admit when he was wrong and change course. In all circumstances, Jeff seeks to build people up and serve the communities he’s a part of. I’ve seen his ability to work with people who had very opposing views to get things done. Bringing these attributes to the Provo City Council will be invaluable.

Ben Gibbs

Oak Hills Resident

Jeff is a problem solver. He has addressed some of thorny state issues as a consultant for McKinsey, knows how to bring an idea to scale with several ambitious startups, and is bringing his passion for improving Provo to the City Council. Reach out and talk to Jeff. He brings his experience, his energy, and openness to Provo that makes me excited for our future.

Merritt Norton

Tree Streets Resident

Jeff has an impressive track record in both business and community service. After getting to know him personally, I am confident he will listen, collaborate, and work to provide solutions that serve the greatest good for District 2 and our Provo community. Jeff has my full support and is the right person to help lead Provo forward on the City Council.

Meridith Reid

Provost South Resident

Jeff Whitlock is an authentic, thoughtful leader who listens. He has a thorough knowledge of Provo and genuinely wants the best for our community. What stands out most is his commitment to represent all District 2 constituents, not just those who agree with him. He's accessible, responsive, and puts in the work to understand different perspectives. That's the kind of leadership Provo needs, and that's why he has my full support.

Ruth Eldredge Thomas

Foothills Resident

Over the last several years of working with Provo City, Jeff has repeatedly proven he’s ready to represent District 2. His strategic mind, business acumen, and long term view are what Provo needs to stay on firm footing and plan for its future in the future. His generous spirit, listening ear, and clarity under pressure are what we need now.

Julia Carlson

South Provo Resident

Jeff Whitlock will help the city council use data effectively to reach consensus and make better decisions, and represent the needs and interests of the many different groups in Provo without bias or special interests.

Henry Tuttle

As a BYU student and Provo native, I believe Jeff has the compassion, drive to learn, and problem solving skills necessary to help Provo build towards its best future.

Alexis Belliston

I have been impressed with Jeff in many ways! His drive professionally, his care for Provo city and his integrity throughout his campaign. I trust he will be hard-working and thoughtful with his work for Provo city!

Savannah Smith

It is so refreshing to see someone like Jeff pursuing public office. He cares about not just the people in his community but also the real issues they struggle with every day. We need more hands on, solution oriented, empathetic people in politics and government, which is why I’m supporting Jeff in his campaign.
