Easton Brady
"Hi, I’m Easton Brady. I’m a husband, a dad, and someone that loves his country and community. I currently work in Facilities Management for the state of Utah. I am a big sports fan and you can almost always catch me at BYU football games.
I am running for Payson City Council because I care about preserving the way of life for all our residents and making improvements when necessary. I’m very motivated to represent my community, especially when it comes to public safety, growth, and other issues. Payson has been home to my young family for 3 years now; we have absolutely fallen in love with this place and embrace the beautiful country feel. Payson will grow, but it must benefit our residents first and not change the small town charm that we love so much about our city."
Let’s preserve our heritage and protect the small town values of Payson, vote Easton Brady for Payson City Council!
Lacee Mae Smith
"I am a wife, mom, friend, and businesswoman. When I am not spending time with my family you will find me riding my horse, baking sourdough bread, canning, and advocating for animal shelters.
I am running for city council because I believe that everyone in Payson matters and deserves to be heard. Payson is at a crucial time in its growth. I want to be an active member of the community that will help keep our small-town roots during the anticipated expansion and many challenges Payson is facing.
With my background in finance, I can step into this role quickly, while helping analyze budgets, keeping the growth smart and listening to the citizens of Payson.
We are all experiencing tough times. Many of us question the intent or necessity of increases in taxes and fees. I will dedicate myself to the fiscal responsibility of Payson that many are asking for.
I would love to work towards having more community involvement for future decisions that our town faces. I will do so with regular updates and inform the citizens of any changes in the works.
Payson is asking for a change, let's do this together."

Which has transferred well to my Real Estate Career. I attended Weber State University and met my wonderful wife there. I convinced her to move to Payson with me and now she loves it.
I have hope for the future of our city, state, and country. I will protect the personal rights and future of Payson City residents. As we work together we will have."
Progress with Patience.

Kirk Beecher
"My wife and I have lived here in Payson now for over 16 years and thoroughly enjoy this area. I have served on school committees and taken advantage of other volunteer opportunities and enjoy serving. I have served on the City Planning Commission for approximately 8 years and now as a member of the City Council since June of last year. I would like to continue this service to the residents of Payson City as one the members of the City Council. I feel that I have a great deal to offer the residents and the community and that my engineering background helps me make practical decisions that benefit the citizens while still allowing for growth and development. If we don’t plan for growth effectively, we will either be overtaken by the growth that is coming or be unable to properly manage and provide for everyone in our community."
"Proper growth can benefit us all. Please support me in this upcoming election and I will try to help the entire community as best as I can."
