Councilwoman Linda McCalmon - Copperton

I am Linda McCalmon, newest member from Copperton Metro Township.

I have lived in and loved Copperton for 34 years.

My husband Jerry and I grew up in Idaho in more rural settings, so it was only natural that we gravitated to Copperton upon settling in Utah.

We have 2 sons and 1 daughter.  Them along with their growing families keep us very busy.

I have worked in the hospitality industry for many years.  It has been a great opportunity to met people of all walks of life and listen to and share peoples passions and concerns.  I love listening and learning.  Im excited for this new opportunity to serve and welcome all sides of the conversation.
