Vote Aaron Dekeyzer for Sandy City Council
ABOUT AARON
Aaron Dekeyzer is running for Sandy City Council At-Large, determined to connect with more voters and bring your values to Sandy City.
Aaron grew up in Sandy and graduated from Hillcrest High, where he was the state champion in policy debate and Harvey the Husky. He went on to receive a Masters in Psychology, and a certificate from MIT in emerging city design. He and his wife are now raising their sons in Sandy and love it!
Aaron has learned a lot about the city council over the past many years of involvement. He lobbied with three other Sandy residents for renewable energy, and chaired the Sandy City Sustainability Committee.

AARON’S PRIORITIES
PUBLIC SAFETY
From safer roads to providing effective funding for Sandy City police and fire, public safety is my number one priority.
QUALITY GROWTH
Invest in the Cairns to boost Sandy's economy, create more affordable housing, and create a vibrant and walkable downtown.
BALANCED BUDGET
Provide better oversight to ensure our quality of life remains high while taxes remain low.
NO GONDOLA
We need elected officials at every level who will work to stop the gondola and save Utah taxpayers over $1 Billion.
Defending
Little Cottonwood Canyon
For years, Aaron has been a dedicated advocate against the gondola option. It is truly inspiring to witness the unity of genuine fiscal conservatives and dedicated conservationists who are joining forces to oppose the allocation of $1 billion in state taxpayer funds, all for the benefit of two resorts and a developer's profit.
Through intensive research of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), the successful completion of a certificate program from MIT specializing in emerging city design, in-depth exploration of traffic, transportation, and city planning literature, and engaging in productive discussions with key stakeholders such as UDOT, CWC, WFRC, and more as Co-Director of SaveNotPave, I am committed to advocating against the gondola. I stand with 89% of Utahns and am a champion for the preservation of Little Cottonwood Canyon.
