ABOUT
“For too long, the communities in HD32 have been forgotten by the legislature, it is time for our neighborhood to claim our seat at the table and make our collective voice heard."
House District 32, home to 43,785 residents, encompasses 9.35 acres nestled between the Jordan River to the west, Highland Drive to the east, I-80 to the north, and 3900 South to the south. It includes parts of South Salt Lake, Millcreek, and Salt Lake City.
This urban-suburban area is the site of six essential, resource-intensive facilities serving both Salt Lake County and the State of Utah. It is the only community in the state where public safety and social service infrastructure is concentrated in this manner.

ABOUT BRITTANY
Brittany Karzen has expertly navigated the intersection of public policy and communication for nearly two decades in both the public and private sectors on issues including energy and the environment to public health and underserved communities to law enforcement and criminal justice.
Moved by the events of 2020, Brittany joined the Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office in the Fall of 2020 committed to bridging the gap between law enforcement and the community. She is making this happen by working to expand access to mental health services, secure resources for victims of domestic violence, support at-risk youth through inter-agency collaborations, develop strategic homelessness interventions, support officer wellness initiatives, and more.
Brittany is an innovative problem solver and a committed coalition builder, skills that helped her find success in her previous work with the Utah Department of Health, R&R Partners, and Edison International. Her ability to listen and willingness to step outside her comfort zone has made her a passionate advocate for an array of community-based organizations that help victims of domestic and sexual violence, immigrants, and underserved communities.
A proud South Salt Lake resident, Brittany has called Utah home for nearly 10 years. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy from Southern Virginia University and a Master of Arts in mass communication from Brigham Young University.
