ABOUT Julie

Julie Powell is excited to be running for a second term on the Davis County School Board. Julie is National Merit Scholar and graduated cum laude from BYU in humanities with double minors in physics and math. She’s an attorney at the largest firm in Utah, but has willingly taken a hiatus to serve on the school board and to serve the needs of her family.

An elite scholar herself, Julie is passionate about high quality education. She has been extremely involved in Davis schools over the last two decades and has served as Community Council Chair and in various PTA leadership and volunteer positions. The combination of her legal expertise as well as two decades with four children in eight Davis Davis District schools has proved to be immensely valuable while serving on the school board. Julie is extremely grateful for the freedoms we enjoy in this country, as Julie’s father was born in North Korea.

Julie believes that the board should be accountable to the voters and operate as an oversight body that provides a means of checks and balances. Julie would like to continue fighting for strong academics and school programs, teacher, employee, and student morale, accountability with a billion dollar budget, reduced screen time in the schools, small class sizes, and conservative family values. Julie feels strongly that the board needs people who are willing to listen, avoid rushed judgments, and seek harmony in the fight for right decisions to foster educational excellence. She is grateful to have a lot of community support for her candidacy and hopes to earn your vote!
