Welcome!

As many of you are already aware, I've declared my candidacy for the Ogden City's At Large "B" Council Seat in the upcoming 2009 Municipal Election.

Let me introduce myself!

My name is Jennifer Neil. I am married to a wonderful man and have two wonderful children, ages 21 and 10. I have lived in Ogden for 30 years, since graduating high school. I lived in Roy before that.

I grew up in a military family, my father a non-commissioned officer in the United States Air Force. I moved around a lot growing up, which has given me a glimpse of many different people from many different backgrounds.

I started college right out of high school, then took time out to begin a family. After a while, I had the opportunity to return to school and I finished my degree in May of 2006. I received a Bachelor of Science in Quantitative Economics & Applied Mathematics (a dual major) with a minor in English.

I am currently a stay at home mom and a crafter. I sew and sell bags: handbags, shoulder bags, purses & pouches; you may see my wares at the Farmers Market in downtown Ogden most Saturdays this summer.

I plan to stay in Ogden; we found the house we love and want to continue to raise our daughter in Ogden. I have a vested interest in how Ogden is developed and the type of progress that is introduced to the city - which is why I wish to run for City Council. I want my daughter to enjoy the many beautiful things Ogden has to offer now and for the future, and I hope that she will decide to stay here and raise her family as well.
