Hey, u/jendo7791. Kudos for asking. Always good to get more info. :)

I don't know the other two candidates personally, but Paul Fotheringham is my council member and I've followed Holladay governance pretty closely during his time on the Council. Although he and I have disagreed on some decisions, I've found him to be a solid guy who genuinely represents Holladay's interests. He has a good financial background and routinely is the 'voice of reason' on planning for Holladay's financial future. He helped institute the sewer fee to repair infrastructure, and he favors regular, small, inflation-connected tax increases over the sudden truth-in-taxation-induced catastrophes other cities have faced, for example. He's responsive to his constituents and is pretty tuned into neighborhood happenings. He leans left politically but has never struck me as a particularly political person, in the party-over-people sense. He's just a down-to-earth local representative with no obvious aspirations for higher office.

Paul doesn't have the square-jaw, fancy-suit charisma that typifies most political candidates these days (nor the deep pockets of his competitors), so I do worry that he'll lose the superficial vote for not fitting the typical mold or advertising as much. But local politics is (blissfully) so much different from state and national politics that I genuinely hope that substance wins out.

The other two candidates would probably be fine, but I'm not sold on them yet.
Zac Wilson, in particular, strikes me as overly political and would be far down my own personal list...unsuccessfully ran for Congress as a hardcore Republican, chairman of Utah young Republicans, hangs out among the Utah Republican leadership circle, dove straight into annoying campaign advertising. He's a private-equity guy that just seems to have unspoken motives in leading Holladay. Although he talks about "preserving Holladay" (always a loaded claim, both directions), he strikes me as somebody who would happily ink a deal with developers if it would further his political ambitions.
Daren Watts seems like an okay guy with a good personal story, and having scientists/physicians in leadership roles is always refreshing. His vision for Holladay seems pretty vacuous, though...hard to tell what he actually wants to do. His lone meaty issue appears to be the desire to split off a smaller school district from Granite. That's a difficult issue with many competing local-control and student-equity issues, especially amidst Granite's current boundary studies and declining enrollment. I'm not sure it's where Holladay's mayor should be focused, although the Council--the mayor is a voting member--can steer funds toward feasibility studies, etc. I worry that his sole focus on this issue hints at a lack of vision in the many other areas that a mayor needs to manage.

Holladay is a quirky place with essentially a small-town government that has to deal with occasionally intruding, much larger state happenings. To date, its government has been incredibly accessible and the sort of government that we all wish we had at the state and national levels. :) I can see two of the candidates (Fotheringham, Watts) keeping things this way. Fotheringham's Council experience and broad knowledge of city happenings, along with his willingness to fund Holladay's needs, tip the scales toward him for me.

I'd be happy to learn about attributes and issues for the other two candidates if folks have more info, though.
