2026 Final Democratic Candidates

My name is Avery Olsen and I am a Democratic Candidate for San Juan County Sheriff. I have dedicated my career to serving the people of San Juan County. I began my law enforcement career with the Monticello Police Department in 2011, where I spent nearly a decade serving the community. In 2020, I transferred to the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office, where I continue to proudly serve today.

I am running on the principle of :

• Expect more accountability.

• Expect more proactive policing.

• Expect more leadership, stronger support for our deputies, and greater engagement with our community.

Throughout my career, I have been a proactive law enforcement officer who believes in building trust, being present, and addressing issues before they become problems. I am excited to bring my experience, energy, and drive to lead the Sheriff’s Office forward.

San Juan County deserves a Sheriff’s Office that is responsible, professional, and continually working to improve. I look forward to earning your trust and sharing my vision in the months ahead.

Yáʼátʼééh I am excited to introduce myself as one of the candidates running as a Democratic for Utah House District 69.

My name is Tracie Yellowman Tso, a Diné Bit’ahnii woman from Diwoozhi Bikoh (Hatch, Utah), a pipe welder, and a Master of Public Health student who believes deeply in service, collaboration, and strong rural leadership.

From foster care to blue-collar work, from reservation life to higher education, and importantly a mother, my life has prepared me to listen, to work hard, and to fight for families who deserve to be seen and heard.

I want to on earn your support because I believe our Utah State House district deserves a representative with the strength, commitment, and lived experience to truly unite rural Utah.

This campaign is about teamwork, protecting our land and water, and building opportunities for our children and future generations.
