Honoring our history, embracing our future.

Hi, I'm Martín!

I’m running for City Council to ensure every resident in District 4 has a voice. My wife and I have proudly called Taylorsville home for nearly 24 years. I was born and raised in Utah, the youngest of six, and grew up next door in Murray. Taylorsville has always been part of my life—whether shopping at Fred Meyer on 5400 South, taking guitar lessons at a local music shop, or building community here with my family.
 

I hold a bachelor's degree in history and a master’s in public administration from the University of Utah. I’m also a licensed master electrician with 23 years of experience managing construction and facility maintenance projects. My career took me from working with IBEW and independent contractors to serving as the Airport Facility Lighting Supervisor at the Salt Lake City Department of Airports for 12 years. In 2020, I decided to pursue a different career path in public policy and advocacy, closing a chapter in public service that deepened my respect for the essential role workers play in both government and private sectors.
 

Today, I serve as the KIDS COUNT Director at Voices for Utah Children, where I advocate for the well-being of all Utah children. I collaborate with state agencies and community leaders to expand opportunities for families across the state—experience I’m eager to bring to Taylorsville.

I’m running because I believe in the power of local leadership to make real, lasting change. I will act boldly when needed, support what we know works, and encourage innovative ideas that strengthen our neighborhoods. Every child, family, and resident in Taylorsville deserves safe communities, strong schools, stable housing, and access to essential resources. Together, we can build a future where everyone thrives.
