This Community Is Home.
Matt MacPherson has called West Valley City and Magna home for over 20 years. He is a small business owner, a dad whose kids went to school here, and a neighbor who has spent years supporting west side programs, businesses, and charities.
Before he ever ran for office, Matt was already showing up. He serves on West Valley City's Police Oversight Committee and has volunteered across the community for years.
Today Matt represents House District 26 in the Utah Legislature. He still approaches the job the same way: listen first, then get something done.
Community Before Politics.
Rooted in West Valley & Magna
Two decades raising a family, running a small business, and being part of this community.
A Listener, Not a Politician
Public service starts with listening. Matt meets with neighbors, attends local events, and answers his own email.
Proven Community Service
From the Police Oversight Committee to local charities, his service did not start with a campaign.
Listening Starts Here at Home.
Matt believes representing House District 26 means being accessible to the people who live here. That means showing up, hearing different perspectives, answering questions, and bringing what he hears from West Valley City and Magna back to the Capitol.
At the Capitol
Matt represents West Valley City and Magna through legislative and committee assignments focused on education, government operations, and public safety.
- Vice Chair, Public Education Appropriations Subcommittee
- House Education Committee
- House Government Operations Committee
- Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Interim Committee
I love connecting with people, and I'd be thrilled to chat with you, attend your event, or even visit you at home. Let's talk about what matters most to you.
