2025 Election

As Park City prepares for its 2025 municipal election, we’re launching a new series: One Question, Many Voices designed to give voters a direct look at where each candidate stands on issues that matter most to the community. In each installment, we pose a single, critical question to all candidates running for mayor and city council, then publish their unedited responses side by side.

Question 2:

As state lawmakers increasingly override local land-use authority, how will you defend Park City’s ability to control its own zoning, density, and development standards? What trade-offs are you willing—or not willing—to make?

Candidates for Mayor – 4 Year Term

In more than eight years of public service — as both chair of the Snyderville Basin Planning Commission and as a Park City councilor — I’ve stood resolutely in the defense of local control and our development codes.

On planning commission, I led several of the largest public hearings in Summit County’s history, and steered the commission to its denial of the first Dakota Pacific application. I stood firmly in defense of General Plan Policy 2.3—prohibiting new development entitlements until existing entitlements are exhausted—when it was under constant threat.

As a city council member, I voted against bad deals like Studio Crossing—another project, like Dakota Pacific, that grants too much nightly-rental and commercial density to justify the affordable housing it provides. I also stood against the council’s vote to approve a $2 million dollar city subsidy to that project, granted long after the project had started construction.

Of course, preserving local control is about more than making the right votes in public meetings. I’ve worked not just to protect local control but to advance it. Working with both our legislative team and fellow leaders in cities and town across Utah, we’ve gained new tools to crack down on illegal nightly rentals. We’ve beaten back bad bills in the legislature that would weaken our historic district. And we’ve built relationships with political leaders of all stripes at the capitol and across the state.

In the Utah League of Cities and Towns, where Park City was once an outlier, we’ve become a leader in the fight for local control. We should be proud to have Council Member Tana Toly elected to the organization’s board and doing excellent work for both Park City residents and our state more broadly.

Going forward, I’ll continue to lead in the fight to apply our development code consistently and fairly—no matter the applicant—and to protect our community’s control of its future.

Utah is a Dillon’s Rule state, which means cities possess only the powers granted by the state. That is a structural disadvantage. But it does not mean Park City is powerless.

We are the global face of Utah and a major source of tax revenue. With strategic leadership, we can build relationships in Salt Lake City grounded in mutual respect and shared interests. The goal is not to capitulate, but to engage. That means showing lawmakers that well-managed growth in Park City benefits the entire state, and that strong local standards are essential to preserving what makes Park City valuable in the first place.

But engagement alone is not enough. We need leadership willing to push back when the state overreaches. Residents rightly expect our current leadership to defend local land-use authority, and they have been disappointed on multiple occasions. When more than 30 HOAs and 1,100 households organized through Protect The Loop to propose an alternative plan for Snow Park redevelopment, the mayor and council liaisons dismissed it out of hand. Yet Alterra executives saw the potential and brought it to life. That episode made clear what many of us already knew: the real strength of Park City and the whole of Summit County lies in its people. It is time our leadership reflected that strength.

Candidates for City Council – 4 Year Term

There is an opportunity to collaborate with the state in defining outcomes and strategic goals, then driving solutions. It’s a classic case of it can be done “to us,” or it can be done “with us.” “With us” will have much better results for our community.

I’m not sure there are trade-offs to be made at all; we share more in common than what generally bubbles to the top regarding controversial issues when projects get stuck. That’s not to say it never happens—it is simply to say as long as we focus on being reasonable and stack hands, the likelihood of losing local land-use authority diminishes greatly. I am opposed to rezoning of open space that we worked hard as a community to acquire and consistently identify as important for a number of reasons, and by making a clear case for the value of open space with higher-level policymakers, we can protect it better. None of this is possible with a contentious stance of Park City against the state. We must lead with respect and be genuine; negativity and conflict are not productive in advocating for our community’s values.

We can focus on working together toward effective solutions. For example, if the goal is starter homes, let’s form public-private partnerships with developers who are creative in delivering financial models that support them without creating restrictions such as 3% per year appreciation caps that, over time, have proven counterproductive to building wealth, as they lag market pricing yet require the same amount of costly property maintenance—not to mention additional public subsidies upon resale to reset pricing as the gap between affordability and market pricing grows due to the artificial subsidy.

The other variable to be realistic about is the cost of living in Park City outside of housing expense, and transportation requirements for basic services given available land to build. Housing cost is not the only focus when individuals or families are looking at joining our community. If everything around us is too expensive to enjoy at income levels the housing is created to serve, are we really doing anyone a favor, or are we just making a difficult situation even more untenable? Perhaps the right answer is partnerships with the commercial sector to support our workforce, prioritizing community services that keep us running, and ultimately getting more creative as we look at an overall strategic picture.

If elected to serve on Park City Council, I’d work with the rest of the Council to listen to – and hear – community values and goals.

Whether the needs would be to clarify and streamline the land management code to reduce ambiguity and potential for prolonged legal battles, or to creatively problem-solve in the gray areas, my decisions in this space would be as a representative of the community, made through the lens of the greatest community benefit and guided by facts and information provided by the appropriate experts and professionals.

Tana Toly

Running For: City Council

Visit Candidate Website

Defending local land use control is one of the most important issues facing Park City—and it’s something I’ve taken seriously both locally and at the state level. As a board member of the Utah League of Cities and Towns, I’ve worked directly with legislators to stop harmful state bills, close developer loopholes, and protect our ability to make decisions that reflect Park City’s unique values. I believe zoning, density, and growth decisions belong in the hands of local communities not lawmakers on the hill.

Locally, I’ve been clear that Richardson Flat was annexed for recreation and open space, not high-density development. I won’t support projects that turn it into another Kimball Junction or sacrifice our town’s identity for short-term gains. The trade-off I’m not willing to make is Park City’s character, its open space, livability, and small-town spirit. I’ll keep working with our partners and fighting at the state level to ensure Park City stays Park City.

Danny Glasser

Running For: City Council

I believe Park City, not politicians in Salt Lake, should shape its own future. I will work closely with other local leaders across Utah to push back against heavy-handed legislation and defend our ability to set zoning and development standards that reflect our community values. I’m not interested in blank-check compromises that invite unsustainable growth or erode our character.

That said, I’ll engage with state partners to find common ground, for example, aligning on workforce housing goals, without giving up local control over how and where we grow. I won’t trade away the qualities that make Park City special just to satisfy a mandate.

John “J.K.” Kenworthy

Running For: City Council

Visit Candidate Website

If we want to keep control, Park City needs to prove we’re planning for the future and not just reacting to it.

That starts with making smart use of the few vacant parcels we’ve got left inside city limits. The state will fill that vacuum if we don’t. New tech means we need updated solutions for traffic, charging, parking, and circulation, and we need them fast.

With China Bridge set to be demolished in phases over the next 10 years, we’ve got a rare opportunity to rethink how people move through 84060. I’m talking a full citywide circulation and parking plan that connects the resorts, Bonanza Park, Iron Horse, Prospector, Park Meadows, Park City Heights, and more. Small shuttles, charging hubs, valet drop-offs, tech-integrated transit. It’s all on the table.

But doing nothing means the state (or in some cases the County) will do it for us. I’m not willing to let that happen.

Beth Armstrong

Running For: City Council

This one hits pretty close to home, especially after what we’ve seen with Dakota Pacific in Kimball Junction. I really believe the only way forward is by building stronger relationships with the legislature, starting real conversations and finding some common ground.

We can’t keep acting like an island. We’ve got to start focusing on what we share, not just where we disagree. If we don’t, we’ll keep ending up on the losing end of these stand-offs and that’s not a position Park City should be in.

I’m always willing to listen and make concessions if we end up with a solution that benefits our community. The legislature often responds to complaints received without verifying the full story behind the complaints. We have to find a better way to tell our residents’ vision for the community as well as conveying to the legislature the issues that support economic strength of Park City and how certain actions risk long term damage to our brand and economic sustainability. People do not visit here for malls or rooftops.

Ian Hartley

The ability to control our own zoning and destiny relies on making good decisions and compromises that work for the community, before the state gets involved. Showcasing Park City and the benefit it provides as a recreational and economic resource to the rest of the state allows us context to work with state lawmakers and protect our development standards.

Diego Zegarra

Running For: City Council

Visit Candidate Website

Local control is fundamental to preserving what makes Park City livable. I will advocate fiercely against one-size-fits-all mandates from the state that ignore our geography, needs, and values.

At the same time, we must show we are proactively addressing housing needs, or we risk losing leverage. That means planning for smart density where it makes sense, near transit and jobs, not sprawl on open space.

I won’t trade away our character, but I will champion policies that reflect local priorities and demonstrate that we are doing our part to meet housing demand in a fair and equitable way.

Affidavit reveals AI-generated plan in alleged grooming case against Mesquite pastor’s son and volleyball coach

Published

December 17, 2025

Your Sports Nation

An arrest affidavit obtained by CBS News Texas reveals more details about what led up to the arrest of a teacher and volleyball coach accused of grooming a teenage girl to have a sexual relationship with her, including the discovery of an AI-generated document outlining manipulation tactics.

Matthan Lough, 32, was arrested on Dec. 10 on a charge of child grooming, a third-degree felony. His father, Kevin Lough, was the senior pastor of the Christian Center of Mesquite, where some of the alleged grooming took place.

The victim and her mother filed a report with Mesquite police about Lough on Oct. 2. According to police, the victim’s mother found out about the relationship earlier that week.

Mesquite police: Grooming began more than two years ago

The affidavit outlines how the case began with an interaction at a party in the spring of 2023.

According to the affidavit, the victim met Lough at her cousin’s graduation party when he approached her while she was playing volleyball. The victim recognized Lough from church, as his wife was the worship leader for their youth group. Lough asked her if she would be interested in joining a club volleyball team he wanted to start at the church.

It was not until the fall of 2024 that Lough held tryouts for the team, and the victim was given a spot, the affidavit said. The victim reported a series of unusual interactions with Lough over the following months in which he shared overly personal details about his life and marriage, then began to make flirty and inappropriate jokes, according to the report.

Lough’s inappropriate behavior escalated further over the summer of 2025, when he started sending the victim explicit messages and discussed committing murders, the affidavit said. Lough also repeatedly made sure the victim knew he was carrying a gun, making her fear for her safety.

In September, the affidavit describes the relationship turning physical. Lough allegedly kissed the victim at a church event. Later that month, he sexually assaulted her twice, the victim told police.

The relationship ended after the victim’s mother discovered the inappropriate messages on the victim’s devices. Her mother then contacted Lough’s wife.

Police said that after the victim filed the report, detectives obtained a search warrant and found an AI-generated document on Lough’s iPad titled “Hypothetical Counter-Influence Plan.” The document outlined phases such as “rebuild her autonomy” and “shift the power dynamic,” and provided guidance on how to achieve success.

Fallout from child grooming case

After the relationship was uncovered, police said Lough’s wife left Texas. Court records show she filed for divorce in October.

Lough’s father also resigned as senior pastor of the Christian Center of Mesquite. In a post on the church’s website, its board said the church would work to seek justice for the victim. It also said the church has “initiated an immediate internal review of all child protection policies, volunteer screening processes, and facility access logs to ensure the absolute safety of every child and youth within our care.”

Kerr was a key force for a Tennessee attack that finished the season top 15 in both hitting percentage and kills per set. Kerr had 20 matches with 30 or more assists, including tying her career high with 57 against Florida on Oct. 15.

One of the top setters in Tennessee history, Kerr currently ranks sixth all-time in both assists (3,259) and assists per set (10.65). The two-time All-American setter has led the team in assists in each of the last three seasons, eclipsing the 1,000-assist mark in both 2023 & 2024.

Earning her bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies, Kubik had her best offensive season of her career in her final collegiate season. Kubik led the team in kills (390), kills per set (4.19), points (431.0), and points per set (4.63) this season. She had double-digit kills in 24 matches, reaching 20 or more on four occasions.

Kubik also ranked top ten in the conference in both kills per set and points per set in 2025. A stellar defender in the back row, Kubik finished third on the team with 209 digs. The First Team All-SEC selection had seven double-doubles on the campaign, all of which came against conference opponents.

Boasting a 4.00 GPA in Communication Studies, Güçtekin became an important piece to Tennessee’s defensive success. The senior libero led the team in 2025 with 408 digs. Güçtekin finished the season ranking top five in the SEC in both digs and digs per set. She recorded double figure digs in 23 matches, including having 20 or more in six. She set a career-high of 30 digs at Kentucky on Nov. 9, becoming the first Tennessee player to reach 30 or more digs since Yelianoz Torres had 30 against Arkansas on Oct. 20, 2023.

Güçtekin eclipsed 1,000 digs in her career this season, and finishes her collegiate career with 1,293 digs. An all-around player in college, Güçtekin also finished with 423 assists and 117 aces.

The Bowerman presentation next stage for Jordan Anthony

FAYETTEVILLE – Jordan Anthony is one of three male finalists from the 2025 season for The Bowerman as each awaits the announcement of this year’s trophy recipient during the presentation that will be held Thursday evening at the Gaylor Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas.

Started in 2009, The Bowerman is presented annually by the USTFCCCA to the top male collegiate athlete and to the top female collegiate athlete in the sport of NCAA track & field. Coverage of The Bowerman Presentation will be available for free on runnerspace.com starting at 6:20 p.m. (CT).

The Bowerman men’s finalist includes Auburn’s Ja’Kobe Tharp and Baylor’s Nathaniel Ezekiel. While Anthony swept NCAA Indoor 60m and NCAA Outdoor 100m titles, Tharp claimed a pair of NCAA titles in the 60m hurdles and 110m hurdles. Ezekiel won the 400m hurdles at NCAA Outdoor and finished second in the 400m at NCAA Indoor.

Anthony is the fourth Razorback to be a finalist for the men’s Bowerman. Two Razorbacks have claimed the honor with Jarrion Lawson (2016) and Jaydon Hibbert (2023) while Ayden Owens-Delerme was a finalist in 2022.

“It’s the Heisman of track and field,” noted Arkansas men’s head coach Doug Case. “I think Jordan has had the best combined season with indoor and outdoor. The points he scored at conference and national championships were part of a tremendous season. I feel he should be the No. 1 candidate to win the award.

“We have tradition here at Arkansas with the Bowerman. We’ve had two winners who were superstars as well. Jordan is right in that category with those guys.”

Jordan Anthony | 2025 Postseason Meets

Indoor
SEC		10 points
	60m	1) 6.54 =PR
NCAA		10 points
	60m	1) 6.49 [6.47 UA record in prelim]

Outdoor
SEC		21.5 points (Commissioner’s Trophy \| High Point Scorer)
	100m	1) 9.95 [UA record]
	200m	1) 19.93 [No. 2 UA]
	4 x 100m	3) 38.60

NCAA		16.5 points (High Point Scorer)
	100m	1) 10.07
	200m	4) 20.01
	4 x 100m	3) 38.72

In completing his first full season of collegiate track and field instead of sharing time with the football program, Anthony delivered a pair of national sprint titles and three SEC titles while claiming high point honors at both SEC Outdoor and NCAA Outdoor Championship meets.

Aided by the scoring efforts from Anthony, Arkansas placed fourth in team scoring at the NCAA Indoor and were third at NCAA Outdoor. The Razorbacks were named John McDonnell Men’s Program of the Year as they produced three podium finishes in cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field for the 2024-25 season.

It marked the first three NCAA trophy season by a Division I men’s program in nine years and the first by the Razorbacks since 1999-2000.

Anthony earned the Commissioner’s trophy at the SEC Outdoor Championships as the high-point scorer with 21.5 points as the Razorbacks claimed the team title.

Twenty of those conference points came in sweeping the 100m and 200m with stellar performances of 9.95 and 19.93 as Anthony became just the third sprinter in SEC history to achieve the sweep with sub-10 and sub-20 second times.

Named the SEC Outdoor Runner of the Year, Anthony became the first Razorback to attain the honor since Caleb Cross in 2012.

Anthony was also the high-point scorer at the NCAA Outdoor Championships with 16.5 points. Combining the NCAA Indoor (10 points) with his NCAA Outdoor tally, Anthony produced the most points between both championships in 2025 with 26.5 points.

“It was a great season and being healthy is a very important part of it,” said Case. “I think we did a great job in the weight room. Our training room did a great job of keeping him healthy. In coaching him, I brought him along really slowly. I didn’t try to push the speed on him too soon. I tried to prolong his season all the way into NCAAs. It ended up working out pretty good.

“For Jordan to be dedicated to that in the short period of time we had to work to get him to that level, I think he did a tremendous job of being focused on his season and the goals he wanted to achieve. It kind of proves if you really put your nose to the grindstone in a short period of time you can get a lot of stuff done.”

Anthony established UA school records in the 60m and 100m with times of 6.47 and 9.95. In sweeping the NCAA titles, Anthony became the first sprinter since Christian Coleman of Tennessee in 2017 to claim the NCAA 60m and 100m titles. Anthony was also the lone sprinter to reach the NCAA Indoor 60m, NCAA Outdoor 100m and 200m finals this season.

In addition to setting school records in the 60m and 100m, the 19.93 performance in the 200m ranks second on the Arkansas all-time list behind a 19.89 registered by Wallace Spearmon, Jr. in 2005.

Having a reunion tour in 2025, Jordan visited his previous collegiate stops on his journey to Arkansas. First was College Station, Texas, as the SEC Indoor was hosted by Texas A&M. Kentucky hosted the SEC Outdoor and then there was a return visit to College Station for the NCAA West First Rounds where Anthony sprinted to a blistering time of 9.75w seconds with a 2.1 aiding wind.

“It was great, honestly, because due to the fact people believed I was fast but I couldn’t really show that I was fast because of my previous injuries,” said Anthony. “I knew my time would come and I knew what I would be capable of doing. When I got out there it just turned to magic.”

Another reunion occurred at the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, California, near where Anthony was born in the Los Angeles area. There he won the 100m in a then career best of 9.98 to initially break the Arkansas school record.

In winning the NCAA Indoor 60m, Anthony feels that was his best executed race during the season while his most significant race was winning the SEC Outdoor 200m.

“I hit exactly every angle I needed to hit,” stated Anthony of the 60m race. “Then 40 to 45m out I was already celebrating because I knew I had the race won.

“My most important victory was probably the 200m at SEC Outdoor. Just shutting everybody up and quieting the stands since nobody even thought that I would be in the picture of winning the 200m. That was a really big moment for me. It put a dagger in everybody’s heart.”
