My Experience & Record
A Track Record of Public Service and Community Involvement
I’ve always believed that leadership starts with showing up. I’ve been actively involved in the people, places, and decisions that shape our city every day.
Boards, Committees, and Programs I’ve Served On:
Planning Commission
Downtown Advisory Board
Strawberry Days Association
Little Denmark Neighborhood Chair
Rediscover Discovery Park Committee (Co-Chair)
Police, Fire, and Library Boards
Mayor Pro Tem (twice)
Central 911 Board
Utah League of Cities and Towns
Choose Kindness Initiative (Founding Board Member)
This work has helped guide responsible growth decisions and align city planning with community needs. It also reflects a consistent approach to service working in the details, listening to residents, and partnering with others to bring projects to life.
Chamber President and Business Community Leader
As the current President and CEO of the Pleasant Grove–Lindon Chamber of Commerce, I work closely with business leaders, local employers, and developers every day. I’ve helped lead trainings, support small business initiatives, and bring new opportunities to Pleasant Grove including business summits, regional partnerships, and our annual awards banquet recognizing outstanding local businesses.
The Chamber’s mission is to support local business and drive economic growth. Its motto is “Relationships Matter,” and I’ve lived that every day by staying involved, listening to our business owners, and working together to support smart, community-focused development.
This role also gives me a seat at the table with regional stakeholders, developers, and civic leaders. It’s one of the most impactful ways I’ve been able to help Pleasant Grove grow in the right way.
I’ve also supported hundreds of ribbon cuttings, grand openings, and business partnerships including recent additions like First Watch, Megaplex Theaters, and CC Bank all part of our growing local economy.
The Grove Development: A Defining Moment
I was one of four Council Members, along with Mayor Fugal, who voted to bring the Valley Grove Freeway Development to Pleasant Grove. That project is now bringing over $1.2 billion in new commercial and retail growth, housing, jobs, and long-term sales tax revenue.
My opponent often says she was the only vote against the 1,100-unit apartment project. But what that really means is she was the only vote against the full Valley Grove master-planned development, a project that’s already breaking ground and helping secure Pleasant Grove’s financial future. I believe we can protect the character of our neighborhoods without shutting down economic progress.
This isn’t just any development. It’s a transformative opportunity for Pleasant Grove. The most recent phase alone includes a $600 million investment from St. John Properties to build a vibrant, high-density, mixed-use community on 47 acres. That phase includes over 1,100 homes, 300,000 square feet of office space, 200,000 square feet of retail, a new hotel, 30+ restaurants, and a 2-acre community gathering space. In total, Valley Grove now spans 128 acresand represents one of the most significant private investments in our city’s history.
It’s already creating thousands of jobs, attracting major employers, and generating millions in sustainable sales tax revenue funding that supports roads, parks, and public safety for our residents.
I didn’t vote “yes” for Valley Grove because I think growth is easy. I voted yes because I knew it was the right thing for our city. I believed in what we could build together.
I supported this when it mattered. My opponent didn’t.
Trusted by Those Who Know the Job
I’m endorsed by our current Mayor, fellow Council Members, and respected community leaders, regional partners, and peers who’ve seen my leadership up close through key votes, community programs, and the partnerships that move Pleasant Grove forward.
Their support reflects the steady, proven leadership I’ve demonstrated in the roles that shape our city’s success and the trust we’ve built by working together.

There’s no doubt in my mind that EricJensen is the right choice for mayor of the greatest city in the world, Pleasant Grove, Utah!
As both a firefighter/paramedic and a proud resident of this city, my wife and I have the privilege of not only living here but also serving this incredible community. We’ve seen firsthand what true leadership looks like, and that’s exactly what Eric Jensen brings to the table.
Eric doesn’t just talk about caring for the people, he lives it. When I was injured on the job, the very first person to show up at my door with a hot meal was none other than Eric Jensen. He wasn’t looking for recognition, applause, or a photo op. He simply wanted to help. That’s the kind of man he is. That’s the kind of mayor we need.
Eric has a deep love for Pleasant Grove and a clear vision for its future. He understands what makes this place special and he’s committed to protecting it while helping it grow in all the right ways. His leadership will ensure our city remains not just great - but the best.
If you want a mayor who shows up, who leads, and who will put Pleasant Grove’s families, safety, and future first, then Eric Jensen is our guy.

Chris Anderson
I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with Eric Jensen, and I’m proud to support him in his run for Mayor of Pleasant Grove.
When I was working through a complex building project here in the city, Eric stepped in and made a real difference. City processes can sometimes be slow and frustrating, but thanks to Eric’s clear communication, deep understanding of how things work, and his willingness to advocate on my behalf, the process went much more smoothly. He helped move things forward without cutting corners, and that made it possible for the project to be completed on time, which also helped the local economy.
What really sets Eric apart is that he doesn’t just care about buildings and politics. He cares about people. He has been an active supporter of Dahlia’s Hope, a nonprofit that helps survivors of human trafficking. I’ve seen him show up, listen, and genuinely get involved. Not just to check a box, but because he truly cares.
Eric is someone who leads with integrity, consistency, and heart. I have no doubt he will bring those same qualities with him as Mayor.

Hands-On with City Departments
I don’t just attend City Council meetings. I meet with staff, listen to department heads, and work alongside the people who keep Pleasant Grove running from engineering and public works to parks, library, police, fire, and recreation.
We’ve already invested over $30 million in road improvements, resurfacing or rebuilding more than 200 roadway sections over the past two years. And we’re just getting started. These upgrades are part of a comprehensive three-year road plan and also include modernized communication systems and critical infrastructure enhancements.
These are not short-term fixes. They are long-term improvements designed to meet the needs of a growing and thriving community made possible through strong teamwork across departments.
