We believe that integrity, honesty, character and moral courage are essential qualities to have in a Sheriff. Mike Smith embodies these traits and it is for that reason that we are endorsing Mike for Utah County Sheriff. J. McLean and Judy Durfey
I have had the chance to know Chief Smith for many years. As the Vice President of the Pleasant Grove Police Honorary Colonels Association I have interacted with Chief Smith frequently both professionally and personally. I have always known him to be direct, honest and transparent. I couldn’t give a stronger recommendation for his candidacy for Utah County Sheriff. Michael Petersen
Amazing leader. Treats the men and women leads like the men and women they are. That means he does so with respect. In law enforcement Mike is a true leader - in an industry that has too many administrators - he leads by example with honor and passion. Bill Crook – Orem – Retired Orem Police Sergeant
As a citizen of Pleasant Grove, I’m excited that Utah County will have the opportunity to have someone of Mike’s caliber serving as county sheriff. He’s an excellent leader who has earned the respect of his department and the citizens of Pleasant Grove. I’ve had the opportunity to get to know Mike personally and can attest to his honorable character and upstanding values. You have my vote Mike! Jon Wadley – Pleasant Grove A fresh set of eyes on Utah county is a very smart vote! Marisa Wright – Cedar Hills, former City Council-member Mike Smith is intelligent and thoughtful in his approach to problems facing our community. He can also make quick and accurate decisions to protect those he serves. He is a leader that serves those he leads. Pleasant Grove is one of the safest cities in the state because of his leadership. He will be a great Utah County Sheriff. I first met Mike Smith about 6 years ago during a difficult situation. He showed kindness and compassion at the time and sought for complete understanding of what had happened. I have been impressed since then at the thoughtful approach he takes in all areas, but also the ability to think quickly and make the best call in dangerous situations. He is highly intelligent, he sees the big picture, and he always seeks to do what is right. He has my respect and my support. He is exactly the kind of person we should have serving as sheriff.
