GREG JENSEN
Sevier County Commissioner
It has been great to be a commissioner representing Sevier County. I appreciate the opportunity to run for this office. I have the best wife a man could ask for. I also have three wonderful daughters, their husbands and three grandchildren. I grew up with 9 siblings on a dairy farm and really enjoyed the blessing of that lifestyle and upbringing.
I love the outdoors and the opportunity we have to use our public lands. I have owned my own insurance agency for 35 years. It has been a great opportunity for me to help people when they are having their most stressful days with death, accidents and health issues.
I have lived in Richfield for the last 30 years. I love to play farmer with my 5 acres. I have always been accused of owning a zoo. Horses, cows chickens and dogs. Any time I can spend riding my horse, sitting under a tree or watching my grandkids play in my yard is time well spent. Serving the public in my capacity as a commissioner has been very rewarding. I love to help when people are in need. I want to keep protecting our public lands. I want to stay active in our organization, helping on the Hill to make our counties and state better.
