Tana Toly Announces Re-Election Bid, Pledges to Keep Park City “Rooted and Ready” for the Future

PARK CITY, Utah — Park City Councilor Tana Toly is running for a second term, she announced Thursday, launching her re-election campaign with a focus on smart growth, regional partnerships, and preserving the soul of the community she’s called home her entire life.

A fourth-generation Parkite and co-owner of Red Banjo Pizza, Park City’s oldest family-run business, Toly said she’s seeking re-election to help the city navigate its next chapter while staying true to its roots.

“This campaign isn’t just about my story—it’s about all of us,” Toly said in a statement. “I believe in a Park City where longtime locals, new families, essential workers, and small business owners can grow, thrive, and feel seen.”

Elected in 2021, Toly currently serves as Park City’s liaison to the Utah State Legislature and sits on the board of the Utah League of Cities and Towns. She also co-chairs regional efforts to expand equity and opportunity for women and is known for building partnerships across government and community groups.

In her second term, Toly said she’ll prioritize completing the new Senior Center, advancing the city’s Bonanza Park redevelopment, and supporting a vibrant but accessible future for Main Street. She’s also committed to implementing regional transportation solutions, including better intersections, expanded transit, and a new park-and-ride strategy.

Toly said she wants Park City to embrace innovation, including AI and future-ready technologies, to “solve our biggest challenges with foresight.” She also pledged to champion sustainability through open space preservation, zero-waste initiatives, and efforts to improve mental health and public wellbeing—including support for substance abuse services.

Other key priorities include planning for a future Winter Olympics in a way that benefits locals, and strengthening the local economy with a focus on small businesses and redevelopment of underutilized parcels.

“Nostalgia won’t protect what we love,” Toly said. “If we resist change, we risk losing the very heart of this town. I’m here to make sure we evolve with intention—staying true to our roots and ready for what’s next.”
