I ran for this seat in 2020 prior to the redistricting, and am ready to run again. I have been very active in the State and City politics since moving to Utah in 2004. I currently serve on the County Bylaws Committee and serve as a Precinct Chair as well as a County and State Delegate. I am also sitting on the civilian oversight committee for the West Valley City Police Department. I am heavily involved in multiple non-profit organizations and charities, though I devote my first priority to my wife and three children all raised here in Utah.

I have spent my life building businesses across the State of Utah as well as across the country in Technology, in HR and Staffing, Imports and retail, even a firework company. I have found great success in what I do and while I operate in 38 states, I find Utah one of the best places to do business.

I worked with and supported Quinn quite closely during his election and tenure at the capitol and I feel I would be more closely aligned with his priorities and viewpoints our constitution and the role of government than others seeking this seat. I have close working relationships already with many of our surrounding house district members and much of the party leadership. I would be honored to serve our district and represent us at the State level.

Dennis Tenney is a life-long, principled, conservative Republican. I previously served seven terms on the Sandy City Council in a “swing district” similar to District 26. I am known as being a thoughtful listener and as someone who leads with conviction and compassion. I treat everyone with understanding and respect. I’m also a firm believer in living within our means and that most often fewer government regulations enable individuals and families to not just survive, but thrive.

My wife Sandy and I are the parents of four children and fifteen grandchildren. Professionally, I led a successful career in business development, both in the U.S. and internationally. The rising generation is our greatest asset. We need to do everything possible to give them the life skills they need to be successful. I’m strongly committed to the Republican principles and ideals of freedom, responsibility and accountability and providing a safe environment for all of our residents. I’m determined to find ways to help provide quality educational opportunities and high paying jobs for our youth and breadwinners through increased emphasis on STEM and technical training. I’m retired and can devote the time necessary to represent and address the needs and concerns of the residents of House District 26 in a responsive and thoughtful manner.
