Susan Lee, a Republican and former Kaysville city council member, is running for Davis County Commission Seat B in the 2026 general election. She faces Bret Millburn, who is running with no party preference.

Experience and public service

The Standard-Examiner reported that Lee worked as a bookkeeper and payroll manager at a family trucking business. Within the Utah Republican Party, Lee said she has served as a Davis County delegate, precinct chair, state delegate, Senate chair for District 6 and president of the Lincoln Club of Davis County.

On the issues

Taxes and budget: Lee said she would oppose unnecessary tax increases and insist on responsible budgeting. The Standard-Examiner reported she would pursue a "service-level solvency test," reviewing county operations to identify duplication of services or positions that were once mandated but are no longer needed.

Dispatch consolidation: Lee told the Standard-Examiner that Davis County should operate one dispatch center rather than the planned centers in Bountiful and Layton, arguing a single center would cost less.

Digital privacy: Lee said on her campaign website that she is an advocate for digital privacy rights. She said she would push back against networks of automated license plate readers and surveillance cameras, arguing residents should control their own personal data rather than corporations or government agencies.

Government reform: Lee said county government should not compete with private business or cities. Its role is limited, she said. It should not expand. She also pledged to bring prayer back into commission meetings, saying it would be one of her first actions, according to the Standard-Examiner. She called for open government, honest communication and decisions made "in the sunlight."

Public safety and growth: Lee said she would ensure law enforcement has the resources to keep Davis County safe and would support growth without sacrificing quality of life, roads or essential services. She said she would work alongside cities, schools and technical colleges to prepare the future workforce.

Policy positions attributed to Lee are drawn from her campaign website, her responses on BallotReady and the Ogden Standard-Examiner. The Bountiful-Farmington Record did not interview the candidate for this profile.
