Three at-large council members were sworn into West Jordan’s City Council on Jan. 5, including returning Councilmember Kayleen Whitelock and newcomers Annette Harris and Jessica Wignall.

“Welcome to West Jordan,” Mayor Dirk Burton told the new council members, “we didn't get here without all the work that's been happening and the work that will continue to go, so we're excited to welcome you here.”

City Recorder Tangee Sloan administered the Oath of Office to all three at-large members, beginning with Whitelock, then Harris and finally Wignall.

Whitelock thanked residents for their continued support.

“I enjoy serving our city, I've been serving our city for decades,” she said.

Harris said her first gift to the city would be brief remarks, but some might argue that her first gift was her apple sauce recipe that she ran on all her campaign materials, following a strategy that her grandmother used campaigning for a position in Alpine.

“I love West Jordan, and I don't know how it happened, but through campaigning and through knocking on door after door after door, and seeing people so open to help and to serve their community, it made me love the city even more,” she said. “I have to imagine that, [during] four years serving on the city council, that love for the city will grow even more.”

Wignall will serve as the new vice chair alongside the council’s new chair, Bob Bedore, who represents District 2. She thanked the mayor and city staff members for their help while running.

“One thing I have to say about West Jordan residents is they are very, very aware of what is happening in the city, and it's amazing,” she said. “I was very welcomed by all the residents whose doors I knocked on, residents at events. And I'm just really excited to be a part of this.”
