Vote Michele Rivera for SLCo Democratic Party First Vice-Chair
Michele’s Priorities
Growth
We are a big tent party, and as such we need to ensure that moderates and progressives feel welcome in our party. We should target swing areas and make use of publicly available marketing data to reach out to new Democrats and grow our party.
Data Analytics
I want to use my professional skills as a Data Engineer to help our candidates focus on obtaining tangible results by analyzing the trends of our election results.
Leadership
I have the experience to provide our staff, candidates, and volunteers with guidance and leadership. I look forward to using my network to help the Salt Lake County Democratic Party grow!

Hi, It’s Michele
I am tirelessly working towards better government with my community and political engagements. I have helped with local issues, including the 2020 Tax Referendum, where I gathered over 16 packets worth of signatures to stop the increase of sales tax on groceries. I am on the Board of Planned Parenthood Associated of Utah, where I am currently the co-chair of the Endorsements Committee, and the Chair of the Board Development Committee. In my PPAU role, I actively support and protect the right to Healthcare. I have been the Vice-Chair of the SLCounty Dems Black Caucus since 2020, where I have supported Black candidates in all forms of political races. In 2023, became a non-partisan Elected Official for the Mount Olympus Improvement District, which encompasses Millcreek, Holladay, South Salt Lake, and a bit of a Murray. This nonpartisan Board oversees the money spent in regards to sewage management. For my day job, I am a Data Engineer and Analyst , where I have more than 10 years of experience in revenue, accounting, and cash collections analytics.
Lastly, in 2024 I served as the Chair of Caucus Chairs and Second Vice Chair for the Salt Lake County Democratic Party. This gives me invaluable experience in running for First Vice Chair.
I want to help the party with knowledge and skills that I have, to gain and retain important seats for the party. There is nothing more important for me, than to be a vehicle for supporting, and expanding the Democratic Party, and particularly the Salt Lake County Democratic Party.
