Cheryl Acton
Cheryl and her husband, Scott, have occupied the same home in West Jordan for 28 years. Over an 11-year span touching three decades and two millennia (1989-2000), they had two sons and two daughters, all four of whom have graduated from universities in Utah. As a family, they accomplished the goal of traveling together to all 50 states.
Cheryl has many hobbies and interests, including writing, traveling, current events, history, quote collecting, and photography. She is endlessly fascinated by people, nature, and animals.
Cheryl was motivated to run for office by a desire to restore and preserve freedom, which, in her view, has been eroding over her lifetime. Cheryl believes in the worth and dignity of individuals (including the unborn) and families and their right and ability to govern their own affairs. She also believes that, for the good of the Republic, civility, wit, and wisdom must return to politics, because endless contention drives many good people away from the political process.
Cheryl believes that while other elected titles (senator, governor, etc.) have lost their original meaning, “Representative” is unambiguous. It describes perfectly her role as a voice for the people of District 38.
