| Info | Meg Holbrook has a lifetime of experience as a public servant, business leader and community advocate. She is running for Mayor of Salt Lake City because our City is changing and we must face these changes with unity, vision, and positive growth. Meg is uniquely qualified to lead Salt Lake City as it meets the challenges on our horizon. Although the City has made real progress in civil rights and environmental quality, there is much to be done in economic development and in housing our changing population. Meg will focus her attention and effort on those things that affect the day-to-day lives of all our citizens. She will get personally involved in economic development and housing growth in every sector of our diverse City. She will work hard to leverage the huge new investment that is being made on upper Main Street.
As the government affairs director at Zions Bank, Meg knows the leaders on Capitol Hill and can work with them. Our City by itself does not have the resources necessary to achieve the future we want. To secure these resources, we must work with the State Legislature and with all our neighbors. Without effective representation in the Legislature, we will lose out to other cities. Meg will bring a positive tone to City government and will ensure that we act like the State’s Capitol City.
Salt Lake City is the region’s transportation hub and Utah’s heart for education, tourism, and the arts. Meg has served on the Utah Air Travel Commission for the last eleven years and has been chair of the Commission since 2003. In 2004 Governor Olene Walker appointed Meg to the Utah State Board of Regents which supervises higher education in the state. In 1995 President Clinton appointed Meg to the President's Advisory Committee on the Arts at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. In Utah Meg was the manager of corporate contributions for the Sundance Institute and the Sundance Film Festival. She also has served as a trustee of the Westminster College Foundation and as a board member of the Utah Arts Festival and the Children's Dance Theater.
Meg has been active for many years in the Democratic Party both locally and nationally. She was the campaign finance director for Ted Wilson's gubernatorial campaign and was the business liaison for Congressman Wayne Owens. She was the Utah State Democratic Party Chair from 1997 to 2003 and was the first woman elected chair of any major political party in Utah. She served on the Democratic National Committee during those six years and was a member of the DNC Executive Committee and represented the western states from 2001 to 2003. She also was a member of the Advisory Board of the Hinckley Institute of Politics at the University of Utah. Today, Meg serves as Treasurer of Democrats for the West (promoting Democratic Party growth in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah).
Meg has a bachelor’s degree in English and Education from the University of Tennessee. She has been married to James Holbrook (who is a Clinical Professor of Law at the University of Utah) since 1983.
