Committed to leadership that reflects the pride Provo has in its community

Effective representation starts with listening. Provo’s needs are unique, and its solutions must be too. Whether the issue is housing, transportation, affordability, or local decision-making, McKay is committed to ensuring state policy supports, not overrides, the choices our community makes for itself. His focus is on practical, conservative solutions that reflect Provo’s character, protect its taxpayers, and preserve its quality of life.

Mckay’s Priorities

  • A person working on tax documents with a calculator, pen, and a smartphone on a white table.

    Fiscal Responsibility

    Families should be able to afford to live, work, and put down roots in Provo. McKay is committed to keeping property taxes, fees, and other costs fair, predictable, and easy for residents to understand. He supports transparent budgeting and clear communication about where taxpayer dollars go. For McKay, affordability means protecting families from hidden costs, ensuring responsible growth, and insisting on accountability in every financial decision the government makes.

  • A two-story brick and stone house with a driveway, two garage doors, and a manicured front yard with trees, one with fall foliage and one bare, under a clear blue sky.

    Housing

    Provo is feeling the pressure of rapid growth. McKay believes housing policy should be shaped by the people who live here, not by one-size-fits-all mandates from Salt Lake. He supports a balanced approach that keeps Provo livable, protects existing neighborhoods, and creates opportunities for young families and long-time residents alike. McKay will champion policies that are right for Provo while respecting property rights and local planning authority.

  • People seated in a row, reading and taking notes, possibly attending a lecture or seminar.

    Local Control

    Utah thrives when decisions are made closest to the people. McKay will defend Provo’s ability to make its own choices about growth, land use, transportation, education, and public safety. He believes the state’s role is to support the work of cities, counties, and school districts. Local leaders understand their communities, and McKay will ensure their voices are respected.

    Responsive Representation

    Provo deserves a representative who listens and responds. He will show up, seek input early, communicate openly, and be fully accessible to the people he serves. For McKay, being a representative is not about pushing an agenda; it’s about understanding the needs of the community and making decisions that reflect its values. He is committed to being available, transparent, and accountable every step of the way.
