Why I’m Running

I love Utah and the USA and feel blessed to live in Cottonwood Heights among so many great people!

I retired from a career in technology in 2022. Now I am choosing to serve our state and community.

We need a representative with integrity, who analyzes complex problems, develops optimal solutions, and is prepared to address the challenges and potential of AI.

I will make fiscally responsible choices, listen with respect and kindness, and do all I can to ensure our children and grandchildren thrive.

With your support and my hard work, we will win this seat and secure a strong future!

Mike Shelton

Cottonwood Heights City Council, 2012-2019

…Darren is one of the most hardworking and disciplined individuals I have ever met. Combined with a brilliant mind and a deep commitment to ethical public service, Darren Croft is uniquely qualified to represent us. He possesses the sharp intelligence necessary to navigate our state’s most complex challenges….We need people in office who are smart enough to solve problems and honest enough to tell us the truth about them. Darren Croft is both. I trust his judgment… I know nobody will work harder for our families. Darren Croft is exactly what we need in state government right now.

Kelvyn Cullimore

Cottonwood Heights Mayor, 2005-2017

I have known Darren for decades and find him to be an incredibly humble and diligent leader.  He is rooted in the belief that public service is a privilege.  As a principled conservative he would represent our district well in the legislature.  Join me in supporting his candidacy for District 41.

Jaren Davis

Cottonwood Heights Resident

…Darren gets it. He listens to residents, not special interests, and he’ll fight for smart, local solutions that preserve our way of life without forced changes or mandates from above. Darren is the kind of principled, practical leader we need in the Utah House: a fiscal conservative who works across the aisle with kindness and respect. He’s earned my full support, and I encourage every voter in District 41 to join me in electing him.

It was great to say hi to many of you! Thank you so much for attending caucus!

The Importance of Caucus Night, March 17

We talk a lot about the importance of voting in primary and general elections, but do you know the importance of caucus night? In large part, what happens at caucus determines who will be on our primary and general ballots. This is because at the caucus we choose our state and county delegates. Those delegates go to the state and county conventions and vote on which candidates will be on the ballots. This year, three Republicans have filed to run for house district 41. If one of those candidate get’s 60% of the delegate vote, he is the only one
