Meet Suzanne
Suzanne Harrison has built her life around service—to her family, her patients, and her community. As an at-large member of the Salt Lake County Council, she’s honored to represent residents across the county and to work every day to strengthen the place we all call home.
As a former state representative for Sandy and Draper, Suzanne became known for her common-sense approach to policy making—putting practical solutions and fiscal responsibility ahead of partisanship. On the County Council, she continues to focus on the issues that matter most: keeping our communities safe, addressing the rising cost of living, and improving quality of life for every resident.
​
As a medical doctor, Suzanne brings a deep commitment to the health and well-being of Salt Lake County families. She believes in listening to residents, proactive leadership, and data-driven decisions to keep our neighborhoods strong and thriving.
​
Suzanne’s Utah roots run deep. She grew up in Provo and attended Timpview High School. She later attended Stanford University, where she met her husband John, a Centerville native. Together, they are raising their three wonderful kids in Draper where they enjoy mountain biking, pickleball, and walks with their naughty goldendoodle.
