Cottonwood Heights Resident

[Darren’s] integrity, consistency, hard-work ethic, and solid judgment are part of his nature. He is one of the most effective leaders I have worked with because of his unique ability to break down a problem with his engineering background and create solutions that last…. His history of serving the community is well established and I welcome his leadership in our state government as he will rise to the top of any organization that he serves.

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.
