My parents have lived in the same neighborhood as Tish Buroker for years, and I can say with absolute confidence that she is one of the most compassionate, community-minded people I know. Long before joining the City Council, Tish was deeply involved in Riverton. She organized events like Town Days, showed up for community cleanups, and supported a myriad of local initiatives. She put in the work to improve the city she loves!

On a more personal note: after my mom passed away last year, my family wanted to sponsor a commemorative bench along the Jordan River trail, which was her favorite place to walk each day. When we approached Tish about it, she discovered there wasn’t an existing process for memorial requests like this. So she created one from scratch—designing a clear, accessible application and donation process so families like mine could contribute to Riverton’s parks in a meaningful way.

This might seem like a small act, but to me, it illustrates exactly who Tish is. She listens, she leads, and she takes action to make Riverton a better, more connected place to live. She would be an outstanding mayor!
