<h3>Fighting for Our Community</h3>These are some of the top issues our campaign is focused on. Learn more about our issues <a href="/issues" target="" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">here</a>.

Angela's Top Issues

In her day job, Angela analyzes, researches, and develops initiatives to tackle the complex challenges facing our community. Her experience on the Board of Health for Weber and Morgan counties has given her a deep understanding of the public health issues that affect families. She believes that the key to improving community health lies in addressing root causes, rather than waiting to respond to costly and harmful outcomes. Throughout her career, Angela has worked to reduce disparities in education and healthcare—disparities that often stem from where a person is born, lives, works, and plays. While these challenges are deeply rooted, Angela is committed to reshaping the future by ensuring that every aspect of a community supports its residents' ability to thrive.

In her day job, Angela works to analyze, research, and create initiatives to address complex issues in our community.

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

Community Health

Growth is inevitable, but we must ensure it happens intentionally, with quality of life as our priority. Everyone should earn a livable wage that allows them to afford a quality place to live. We need to support policies and innovative approaches to growth that prioritize community well-being, not just economic expansion. While attracting resources like grocery stores requires a certain population level and market appeal, we can meet that challenge by fostering thoughtful, balanced growth that benefits everyone.

Growth is inevitable, but we must ensure it happens intentionally, with quality of life as our priority.

Housing

Having a fulfilling, well-paying job close to home allows you to spend more time doing what you love and being with your loved ones—this should be our ultimate goal. The people of Weber County deserve access to opportunities that enable them to thrive. We can implement state and local incentives to bring these opportunities closer to home, but we must ensure we're measuring their long-term impact. Too often, we offer incentives only to lose the jobs five years later. What does that do for our families in the long run? Is it truly worth the investment? Additionally, we must consider how we're supporting the smaller businesses that have invested in our communities over time without those incentives. We must listen to these stakeholders and find meaningful ways to support them.

Having a fulfilling, well-paying job close to home allows you to spend more time doing what you love and being with your loved ones—this should be our ultimate goal.

Jobs & The Economy

Public safety personnel, including police officers, firefighters, and EMTs, join these professions to make a positive impact in our communities. However, the systems they operate within can sometimes perpetuate division and inequitable treatment, particularly for underrepresented or marginalized groups. These systemic issues need to be examined and reformed to ensure fairness for all. It's important to recognize that some local efforts are already making strides, even if they aren't labeled as "reform." For instance, the Ogden Police Department created a homeless advocate role and established a department that provides trauma-informed outreach to those living unsheltered in Ogden. This initiative focuses on building trust and relationships and helping individuals navigate the system to find housing—a process that takes time and care. I want our police officers to feel safe, supported, and like we all want them to thrive.

Public safety personnel, including police officers, firefighters, and EMTs, join these professions to make a positive impact in our communities. We must continue to uplift and support them.

Public Safety 

Environmental protection is a priority and should go hand in hand with expanding opportunities for everyone. Angela will ensure that efforts to create a cleaner, safer environment are intentional, with a focus on improving the quality of life in House District 9. She will implement practical solutions such as community education programs that empower residents to protect their environment while also expanding access to economic opportunities. Angela will collaborate with experts and will support policies that balance environmental protection with sustainable growth. By prioritizing the unique needs of the entire district, Angela aims to create a balanced approach where everyone benefits.

"When I think about the characteristics of a good leader, the top three traits that come to mind are integrity, collaboration and accountability.Utah needs effective, efficient and positive leadership and Angela Choberka is the representative that will guide House District 9 in the right direction."

Choberka’s leadership is needed in HD 9

"For years, both before and during my time on the Ogden City Council, I have built a reputation for working with community partners and residents to address the most pressing needs of our community. What makes this possible? Trust. I’ve always believed in breaking through political divides to focus on what’s best for the people of Ogden, and that commitment has led to real change. Here’s just a glimpse of the work we’ve accomplished together..."

Elect a proven community leader in November

Angela Choberka has been a member of the Ogden City Council for six years. In this episode, she explains how the council works, and how her career relates to her work on the council, and we discuss some of the big projects the council is working on right now including Wonderblock and the Union Station.

Council Member Choberka: Building and Renovating Ogden

"I have always respected and admired first responders who work tirelessly to keep our community safe. When I joined the Ogden City Council, I participated in the Citizen Police Academy hosted by the Ogden Police Department and numerous other entities across the county, where I learned the complexities of maintaining our safety. Our public safety teams handle dispatch, patrol, community policing, fire, emergency medical services and more. They don’t do their jobs for the money but because they care about our community."

Fair Pay Advocacy: Backing Our Public Safety Teams

That’s part of the reason I decided to run for the Utah House of Representatives. We need more leaders who understand how these political decisions affect the very real lives of people each and every day. Access to health care should not be a political issue, and it should not be up for debate.

Why I am running for the Utah Legislature

"This exponential rise in residents eager to engage in the city’s most crucial conversations in sincere and meaningful ways should serve as a signal to our city’s leadership that our strongest solutions to our most pressing challenges as a community are readily available should the city ask and listen."

The Untapped Reservoirs of Local Leadership

After the costs have been identified and the program is approved, we believe joining will be the single most impactful and affordable step our communities can take to leave a better environment for future generations. All we ask is that community leaders allow the process to play out and the facts to be known before closing the door on this once-in-a-lifetime clean energy opportunity.

Renewable energy program will be responsible, affordable, impactful

"Healthy, productive debate around issues that are important to us all, such as growth, transportation, potholes, budgetary items, social issues like supporting the unhoused and youth recreation, to name a few, are important to how we decide together to build our community. And this type of dialogue can only bring about a better outcome."

Now is the time to get involved in local government

Upon the occasion of Martin Luther King Jr. Day coming up on Monday, the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://multicultural.utah.gov/mlk/">MLK Jr. Human Rights Commission</a> would like to invite community members to reflect on the meaning of the commemoration of Dr. King’s legacy as well as to invite you to participate in the many community events that will be taking place in his honor.

Guest opinion: All are welcome to celebrate the legacy of MLK

I respectfully reserve the right not to bear arms. As a teacher of elementary-aged children I have been contemplating my role in their lives and my place in our society in light of the recent horrors that have caused some to begin training to carry arms into their classrooms.
