Ready to Lead.
Already Doing the Work.
I’m running for Mayor of Pleasant Grove to continue the work I’ve already been doing.
As a City Council Member, I’ve been hands-on with road and infrastructure improvements, community programs like PG Cares and Choose Kindness, and local business growth. I’ve worked closely with city departments and regional partners to move Pleasant Grove forward. I’m ready to lead with experience, energy, and a clear vision for what comes next.

Meet Eric Jensen
Proven leadership. Real involvement. A vision for the future.
I’ve lived in Pleasant Grove for 35 years, raised my family here, and spent decades working to make our city stronger. From serving on the City Council and Planning Commission to leading the Pleasant Grove Lindon Chamber of Commerce, I’ve been involved in nearly every part of our community.
What sets me apart is being present. I have consistently put in the work, not just at City Hall, but in department meetings, committees, planning sessions, and community programs that shape our future. I’ve helped lead key projects like the Discovery Park rebuild, Cook Family Park, and long-term road and infrastructure improvements.
These efforts have prepared me to hit the ground running as Mayor on day one. This campaign is not about starting from scratch. It is about continuing the progress we have built together through hands-on leadership and long-term commitment.
Leadership is about consistency, preparation, and accountability. I’m ready to keep showing up and serving Pleasant Grove with that same focus and purpose.
Voices from Pleasant Grove
My Priorities
Roads + Infrastructure
Infrastructure has been a top priority over the past several years and will remain one moving forward. The city has focused on critical services like roads, water, secondary water, sewer, and storm drainage. These services are essential to quality of life, and we must continue investing in sustainable, long-term solutions.
Over the past two years alone, Pleasant Grove has invested over $13 million into road improvements, resurfacing or rebuilding more than 100 roadway sections. This year, an additional $10 million in road and infrastructure projects is already in progress. These upgrades also include better communication systems, water quality improvements like chlorination, and pipe replacements.
This work is not just about catching up. It’s about building a reliable foundation for the future of Pleasant Grove.
Economic Growth
Pleasant Grove has become a hub for new businesses, retail, commercial, job creation, and long-term investment.
The Ruth & Nathan Hale Theater in Pleasant Grove, Utah, is a state-of-the-art performing arts facility that opened in January of this year 2025.
Valley Grove development (St. John Properties) of 1.2 billion of retail, commercial and mixed use in our Freeway/Grove Development that I voted for.
Over the past few years, we’ve welcomed dozens of new businesses, including Panera Bread, Wingstop, The Great Greek, Seven Brothers, Chipotle, Kneaders, and many others. Recent additions like Chick-fil-A, Megaplex Theater, and Dragonsteel show that Pleasant Grove is gaining momentum as a destination for both retail and culture.
This growth didn’t happen by accident. It is the result of years of behind-the-scenes work, strong partnerships, and thoughtful planning that I have been proud to support through my role on the City Council and as President of the Pleasant Grove–Lindon Chamber of Commerce.
I will continue to be a strong voice for economic development by supporting a healthy business environment, expanding our sales tax base, and keeping Pleasant Grove open for responsible growth that benefits residents, families, and the future of our city.
Public Safety
Public safety has always been one of my top priorities. I have consistently supported funding for police, fire, and EMS, including voting to improve facilities, invest in updated equipment, and promote competitive wages for our public safety personnel.
I’ve worked closely with our police and fire departments to strengthen emergency response, increase community safety outreach, and ensure our city is prepared as we grow. These efforts help maintain a secure, responsive, and trusted public safety system for all residents.
I take great pride in the men and women who serve Pleasant Grove, and I will continue to support the people and resources that keep our community safe.
Quality of Life
Pleasant Grove continues to be one of the most desirable cities in Utah to live, raise a family, and stay connected to community. As we grow, it’s important that we protect and enhance the quality of life that makes this city special.
Quality of life means more than just open space or clean streets. It’s about access to parks, trails, recreation, safety, and meaningful community programs. Over the past few years, we have seen major improvements across the city thanks to careful planning, partnerships, and long-term investment.
The following improvements are projects I’ve voted for, supported, and worked to bring to life:
Discovery (Re-Discovery) Park Rebuild
Downtown Park Rebuild
Valley Vista Trail Systems
Veterans Park Pickleball Courts and Pavilion
Rebuilt Tennis and Pickleball Courts at Discovery Park
Newly Opened Cook Family Park (25-acre park with splash pad, skate park, pump track, futsal fields, basketball court, all-abilities playground, soccer fields, and more)
These investments strengthen our community, support families, and ensure Pleasant Grove remains a place people are proud to call home.

36% Increase
Sales Tax Revenue Increase
Since 2015, Pleasant Grove’s sales tax revenue has increased by 36%. This growth reflects the city’s expanding business base, new retail development, and strong support for local commerce. Pleasant Grove continues to be open for business, and it’s paying off.
Making a Better Community for our Families
Quality of Life
We’ve continued to invest in quality-of-life improvements across the city, including the Discovery Park rebuild, Downtown Park upgrades, Veterans Park pickleball and pavilion, expanded recreation programs, and enhanced library services.
