About Jesse West

Meet Jesse

Hey! My name is Jesse West and I am a 30-year-old skier and attorney here in Salt Lake City Utah. I am currently a Brighton season pass holder, family law practitioner, and the Chair of the Salt Lake City Libertarian Party. I am not a career politician and I am not from Utah. I started visiting Utah in 2018 to ski and visit friends, and I kept coming back because I loved it. When I graduated from school, I chose Utah because I fell in love with the natural beauty, the snow, and the people.

An Outsider Who Chose Utah. That's Not a Bug. That's the Point.

No corporate PACs. No billionaire donors. No career politician playbook. Just an attorney from Tennessee who moved to Utah, fell in love with it, and got tired of watching it get sold out.
