Barbara J. Haggerty

Barbara Haggerty is a Democratic candidate for the Utah State House, a Cache Valley native, and a mother of two. She describes herself as a stand-up comedian, though her current focus is listening to the concerns of local residents. Her campaign centers on affordability, transparency, and delivering practical solutions. Haggerty advocates for defending an independent judicial system and tackling issues such as families being priced out of their communities. She aims to be a dedicated voice for rural northern Utah, asserting that the incumbent lacks ambition and commitment to address critical local concerns. She is running against three-term incumbent Rep. Mike Petersen in a challenging district.
