I’m married to Kathryn Guymon from Price, Utah. We have 3 beautiful daughters, 7 grandkids, and anywhere from 2 to 6 dogs at any various time!
I worked at the BLM for 32 years, first in Hanksville, Utah and then in Moab, Utah. I retired in 2010. I started as a geologist, worked up the chain through supervision and ended up as an Associate Manager in Moab. These jobs gave me opportunity to work in and become familiar with issues and resources in Carbon, Emery, Wayne, Garfield, Kane, Grand and San Juan counties. It allowed me to travel within southern Utah extensively to gain a deep understanding and appreciation for our incredible land and people.
Caring for my community and state motivated me to serve as a Grand County Commissioner from 2013 through 2016 where I was able to establish influential relationships with our surrounding County Commissioners, Utah’s congressional delegation, our state government, and the legislature. I am currently serving as the Grand County Republican Party Chair.
I have also worked as a public land/mining consultant for the past 13 years in Utah and throughout the western US primarily in mining and minerals, but I’ve- After 45 years working in public lands and on the Grand County Commission in southeastern Utah, I can clearly see just how little control our local and state elected representatives have over our future. These federal lands are our lifeblood for economic activity and jobs and if we can’t access them, to utilize them as responsibly as I believe we have for generations, then our very abilty to provide for ourselves and families is in great jeopardy.
- My deep understanding of our region’s unique rural needs combined with my ability to work effectively with the State, and my alarm at the direction the federal government is taking our future has led me to run for House District 69 representative. Representing our 6 counties will require great respect for our landscape and economies. Our ranching, minerals, timber, recreation, and tourism resources can provide enormous revenues and economies for our county and state, but we are slowly losing access to all of these resources as they are locked up in enormous and unjustifiable national monuments and conservation areas.
- At 28,000 square miles and covering 6 counties, this job will require someone who can commit to working for all the cities and communities and varied interests in the District. The sheer size of this particular District does not lend itself to a part-time job, as do other small Districts located along the Wasatch front. One cannot be working a full-time job with small children at home and expect to be able to adequately represent the citizens of this District. It’s simply not possible. My family is raised, I am retired, and I have the available time to do the work and the ability to travel as necessary to best represent all the citizens across the District.
