Endorsements

“I strongly endorse Ken Ivory for re-election to the Utah House because he has the experience to effectively represent our district and our state.

Ken puts constituents first, helping me pass a bill to solve an anomaly in the law that affected many small businesses.

If you want limited government, lower taxes, and a strong economy, you’ll want to vote for Ken Ivory to keep Utah the ‘Best Managed State in the Nation’ for many more years to come.”

Gary Leany, County Delegate, past Legislative District Chair, Small Business Owner

“I’ve worked closely with Ken Ivory as he advanced thoughtful, forward-looking policy for Utah.

I saw firsthand the leadership he brings to complex and consequential issues, with a rare combination of conviction, discipline, and constitutional clarity—serving the people of Utah with integrity and a deep sense of purpose.”

Hugh Hannesson

“Ken Ivory is a passionate and determined advocate who takes on tough challenges and focuses on delivering real results. He listens, shows up, and fights for what matters most to his community.

He has a unique ability to see around the corner, anticipating what’s best for Utah and positioning the state for long-term success. His steady leadership, proven record, and commitment to doing the job right make him an invaluable asset and exactly the kind of representative we need in the Utah House.”

Mike Schultz, Utah Speaker of the House of Representatives

“Representative Ken Ivory brings a principled and innovative approach to the challenges facing our state and nation.

I have appreciated working with him and value his leadership in advancing thoughtful, forward-looking policy for Utah. He combines experience with effectiveness, remains closely connected to the communities he serves, and consistently focuses on the issues that matter most to Utahns.

He is often ahead of the curve on complex issues and works to ensure Utah is well-positioned for the future.”

Utah State Treasurer Marlo Oaks

“Utah needs wise, compassionate, principled leaders, with integrity.

Representative Ivory is that leader as he delivers on jobs, freedom, economic strength and low taxes.”

Senator Keven Stratton, Co-Chair Utah Federalism Commission

“Representative Ken Ivory has been a champion for states’ rights and conservative values in the Utah House.

He knows the importance of decisions being made here in Utah rather than by unelected bureaucrats in DC.

Join me in supporting Ken Ivory for re-election to the Utah House so he can continue working for smaller government that is closer to the people.”

Representative Burgess Owens, U.S. House of Representatives

“I’ve known our wonderful state representative, Ken Ivory, for over 20 years and have always admired his character and integrity, approachability and his ability to get things done.

Several months ago I approached Ken about a critical issue that one of our daughters was having. After nearly 13 years with her employer in the health industry she had been let go due to the negative effects that her MS was having on her in being able to fully perform her duties.

I explained the situation to Ken and asked him which state resources we should reach out to.

Ken immediately replied and said that he would get to work on it right away.

Within a day we had heard from three senior managers from the State of Utah Dept. of Workforce Services, saying that they had heard from Ken and were happy to help. Within a week our daughter had a counselor from the State of Utah Workforce Services Office of Rehabilitation assigned to her, who led her to the exact people that we needed in order to apply for Medicaid as well as helping her determine and locate courses that she could take that would allow her to have a new career.

She is now enrolled in a course, that once completed, will allow her to work from home in a controlled environment.

I am convinced that none of this would have happened so quickly had not our state representative, Ken Ivory, stepped in.”

Vyrl Bangerter, Constituent, Community Leader

“Representative Ken Ivory is a true champion for Utah families. He doesn’t just listen to parents, he stands in the gap for them.

Whether he is creating signs to cut through the opposing propaganda, arranging press meetings to educate the public, or personally delivering evidence of explicit school content to legislators in his famous brown paper bags, Ken never backs down.

He is a tenacious bulldog when it comes to revealing the truth. Parents need a fighter who values transparency and protection over deceptive rhetoric. We need Ken Ivory on our side!”

Brooke Stephens, Parent Advocate and Founder of RatedBooks.org

“I’m happy to give my strong support for Representative Ken Ivory’s reelection in House District 39. 

As Chair of the Utah State Board of Education, I got to know Ken while he was working in the Legislature addressing parents’ concerns about inappropriate materials in schools. 

I found Ken to be both principled and open to discussion on a very difficult issue.  I’ve also worked with him as a member of the Utah Federalism Commission where Ken serves as the Co-Chair. 

Ken is deeply knowledgeable about our Constitutional structure and committed to the primary role of States to serve our citizens on local issues. 

I’ve watched him work across the aisle to find common ground and allow parties to work through their differences in the States, where power is closest to the people allowing greater collaboration, rather than the gridlock in Washington.

That’s the kind of leadership we need today, I hope you’ll join me in sending him back to the House to continue his service.”

Dr. Jim Moss, JD, past Chair Utah State Board of Education & UVU Professor

“Ken Ivory is a great legislator.  He ranks regularly at the top of the House for preserving our liberty and freedom. 

Ken is the expert at federalism fighting to keep the federal government in its lane and not letting it grab all power unto itself.

Ken is honest and trustworthy.  He has fought hard to get indecent materials out of school libraries.  Ken listens to constituents and works to get bills passed that help individuals and families.  Ken has kept his word and puts Utah and family values first.  He has a great grasp of the legislative process and works well with other legislators to get things done. 

You can count on Ken to do great work in the House of Representatives.   

I have personally known Ken for over 15 years. I trust Ken to do right for Utah and West Jordan.” 

Brent Maxwell, Small Businessman, Delegate, Community Leader

“I’m proud to support Ken Ivory for the House of Representatives. Ken truly listens to the people in his district and takes their concerns seriously.

He worked with me and law enforcement to help strengthen DUI laws, and I saw firsthand his ability to turn ideas into action.

What stands out most is that Ken knows how to get things done on the Hill—he’s effective, persistent, and results-driven. He’s also a strong advocate for protecting state rights, which I deeply appreciate.

Ken Ivory is the kind of leader who delivers for his constituents, and I’m confident he will continue to do so.”

Jeremy Mitchell, Constituent and County Delegate

“Ken Ivory is dedicated to a Free Market, the Proper Role of Government, Fiscal Accountability, and the Rule of Law. 

He has a tremendous amount of energy that he directs for the benefit of his constituents and the State of Utah.  I have known Representative Ivory for over 14 years and have watched him vote.  I highly recommend keeping someone so capable and effective working for you and our State!”

Representative Kay Christofferson, Utah House of Representatives

“Ken Ivory works for West Jordan.  For over 2 ½ years he has advised and assisted a WJ citizen group on a traffic safety issue that impacts thousands of people daily.  Thank you Rep. Ivory.” 

Glendon Mitchell, Constituent and County Delegate

“Ken Ivory is a principled representative and a true leader in the Utah legislature, where he speaks persuasively for conservative issues and often provides a warning voice on bills that would take us in the wrong direction.

I wish every resident of Utah had a representative like Ken! From my perspective, he is indispensable in the Utah House.”

Rep. Cheryl Acton, Utah House of Representatives, District 38

“Victims and victims of crime in West Jordan and the entire State need strong voices regarding victim's issues and victim's rights. Rep. Ivory sponsored legislation to form the Victim Services Commission which is making big impacts.  Victims everywhere thank you for your leadership.”

Toni Mitchell, Constituent

“I’m proud to support Ken Ivory for House District 39. He is a man of unwavering integrity, deep faith, and strong values that have shaped his leadership and decision making.

Representative Ivory has constantly stood as a principled voice for freedom and constitutional values. Our community and state are well served with leaders like him representing us.”

Rod Hall, Utah State Board of Education
