Write-in Nancy Peterson
25 Years of Building Utah's Future
I have been teaching since 1979, and for twenty-five of those years my
students were teachers.
I started in a classroom in Sandy, then Alpine School District, then Mesa,
Arizona, then Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. In 1997 I came to what would become Utah Valley University and stayed until I retired in 2022. If your child has had a teacher in Utah County in the last two decades, there is a fair chance that teacher learned to teach from me.
My research asked why so many elementary teachers avoid teaching writing. My dissertation followed parents and teachers, two groups who want exactly the same thing for a child and still cannot always talk to each other. I have never gotten tired of that problem.
Hearts and homes. Those are the words I reach for when someone asks what matters to me.

About Nancy
Nancy Peterson is a lifelong educator with over 25 years of experience in Utah's classrooms. Now a retired professor from Utah Valley University, she has dedicated her career to mentoring the next generation of teachers and advocating for student success.
Beyond the classroom, Nancy is a master quilter and an active member of her local community. She believes that the same patience, precision, and care required to stitch a quilt are exactly what our legislative process needs today.

Community Values
Stitching the community together.
Like one of Nancy’s handmade quilts, she has a commitment to detail and care.
Nobody is average.
Every family has a unique story that deserves to be heard in our local government. I am here to represent the real people, not just statistics or special interests.
Same goal, different views.
We all want a thriving district, even if we disagree on how to get there. Bringing diverse ideas to the table is the best way to find sustainable progress.
Work with what you have.
Real leadership means finding creative solutions using the resources currently available. Efficiency and common sense are the tools I will use to serve our community.
How I'd Represent HD 57
Listening to Your Voice
Representation starts with listening. I will be present in our community, holding regular town halls and open forums to ensure that the concerns of District 57 families are heard and addressed.
Integrity and Transparency
As a teacher, honesty is fundamental. I will bring that same integrity to the state house, providing clear updates on my votes and legislative decisions so you can track the work we are doing together.
Focus on Results
Political posturing doesn't improve schools or lower taxes. I will work across the aisle to find practical, common-sense solutions that yield real results for our residents and neighbors in District 57.
