| Provo Mayor Michelle Kaufusi |
Mayor Michelle Kaufusi was raised in Provo by a single mom who worked graveyard shifts as a nurse to take care of her seven children. Mayor Kaufusi grew up with a sense of duty to serve the community and give back what was so generously given to her family. She knew well the uphill battles many women face in the community. She saw mothers showing up day-after-day to improve the lives of their children in the school system. She saw the female student population putting an emphasis on education. She watched many women in the community live courageous lives full of children, grandchildren, and church and community service.
Many times Mayor Kaufusi has been that mother driving the carpool routes in sweats and sandals, with a half-eaten sandwich on the dashboard, trying to solve all the world’s problems at once. Her hope is that the women of our city will come to know that she is their advocate who understands their lives and shares their hopes and dreams. As she has said, "I may be the first female mayor, but I will certainly not be the last."
