Michelle Kaufusi is a Provo girl through and through: born and raised, graduated from Brigham Young University and ultimately making history as its first female mayor. The sixth of seven children, Michelle was raised not only by a single mother working hard as a graveyard shift nurse, but also by many neighbors, family and friends who pitched in to help. Provo quite literally helped raise Michelle. In gratitude, Michelle has continually found ways to give back to her “village” by helping to raise Provo in return. Always actively involved in community service, Michelle served on many boards and commissions, including the Provo City Citizens Advisory Board and the Provo School District board, ultimately serving as its board president. Within only two years of being elected as the first female mayor in Provo City, Mayor Kaufusi earned the honor of Informed Decision Maker of the Year by the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute. Under her leadership, Provo City continually receives national accolades, with 2020 distinctions being #1 Safest Big City, #3 Best Run City, and #3 Best College City. Recently named as the 2021 Best Performing City by the renowned Milken Institute, Provo stands out nationally for its job growth, high tech concentration, and its high-quality lifestyle, without the price tag of comparable tech cities. Michelle recently unveiled her four Provo Pillars to show a renewed focus on strong foundational principles while positioning Provo for growth opportunities. Citizens can follow the progress of each of the Provo Pillars: Welcoming, Safe &amp; Sound, Economically Vibrant and Forward-Looking at ProvoConnect.com.

Her husband Steve Kaufusi played for the Philadelphia Eagles and is the former Defensive Line Coach for BYU. Sons Bronson and Corbin play for the New York Jets. And Devin is a Defensive Lineman for BYU. Daughters Daryl and Alexis were active in high school sports.Now Mayor Kaufusi is using many of the same skills used to build successful professional athletes to run the city of Provo, Utah.When Michelle Kaufusi was elected the first female Mayor of Provo, political advisers told her it would be political suicide to propose a $69 million bond her first year in office. But after seeing the decaying and grossly overcrowded police and fire facilities at City Hall, she made the very difficult decision to put the bond issue to the voters. It passed by a narrow margin.And now after almost two years in office, with the new City Hall under way, she has taken on the massive project of building a new and expanded Provo airport.Mayor Kaufusi doesn’t consider herself a politician, and you’ll hear why. But she does like to move fast.Bob Evans with FOX 13 News in Salt Lake City sat down with her in December of 2019 for a 3 Questions interview.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
