About Me:


Representative Roger Barrus is connected to the people of our communities…


"I am grateful for the confidence you have placed in me to represent you in the Utah House of Representatives. During my six terms, I have worked to gain the contacts, the trust, the relationships and the knowledge required to represent each of the communities in Legislative District 18. I have visited your city council meetings, hosted town meetings, walked your neighborhoods and circulated questionnaires in an effort to understand and represent our communities' values. I have sincerely tried to be connected to the people of our communities."


Connected with Davis County Family Ties:

A resident of Davis County for nearly all of my adult life. Family ties in Centerville, Farmington, and Kaysville. Happily married for 40 years with four grown, married children and 13 grandchildren. I recognize the importance of strong families and the preservation of family values.


Connected to the Business Community:

Retired after a 27 year career on the management team of one of Utah's largest corporations. My wife and I also created a multi-national, multi-million dollar manufacturing business, with corporate headquarters in Davis County. Developed two residential subdivisions in Kaysville. I have served as the chairman or board member of numerous organizations and committees. I truly understand that business, small and large, is the engine that drives our economy. I know how government impacts business' ability to prosper, not to mention its ability to survive.


Connected to the Government Process:

Served several years as a Republican delegate to County and State conventions. In the private sector, I have worked extensively with municipalities and with state & federal regulatory agencies. Elected to six terms in the Utah House of Representatives and chaired or served on many legislative committees and taskforces. Served on the Legislative Negotiation team to reach agreement on construction of Legacy Parkway. I understand the "system".
