PARK CITY, Utah — Longtime volunteer and communications professional Molly Miller has launched a campaign for Park City Council, bringing more than a decade of civic involvement and nonprofit service to the 2025 race.

Miller has served on the Park City Education Foundation’s communications committee since 2020, is a member of the McPolin Elementary Parent/Teacher Organization leadership team, and was appointed to the city’s first-ever Nonprofit Services Advisory Committee. Most recently, she joined the Serve Park City organizing team, which aims to mobilize 1,000 volunteers for community service projects this fall.

Miller and her husband Andy moved to Park City in 2011. They live in Prospector with their 9-year-old daughter, Octavia, and two dogs, Zelda and Rosy.

“Park City deserves a functional, respectful City Council,” Miller said in a statement. “One that collaborates, listens, and puts the community’s needs above personal interests.”

Miller’s background spans journalism, marketing, and public relations. She began her career as a news producer in her hometown of Flint, Michigan, later serving as Executive Producer and Assistant News Director at KSL-TV in Salt Lake City. After leaving KSL, she founded her own communications firm, working with local clients including KPCW and Autumn Aloft.

Her experience on the city’s Nonprofit Services Advisory Committee gave her deeper insight into Park City’s budget priorities and community needs. The committee reviewed nearly $1 million in nonprofit grant requests, ultimately making funding recommendations that were largely approved by the City Council.

“I’m proud of the thorough, respectful process we created,” she said of the committee’s work. “It infused hundreds of thousands of dollars into local nonprofits doing critical work in our community.”

Miller said she’s running for council to help address Park City’s most pressing challenges — including affordable housing, traffic congestion, and support for local families and seniors.

“I’ve been incredibly lucky to build a life here,” Miller said. “But we need to do more to ensure Park City remains a place where families, workers, and longtime residents can continue to thrive.”

Miller joins a growing field of candidates seeking one of two open council seats. Now that four candidates have filed, a primary election will be held on August 12 ahead of the general election on November 4.

Candidate filing runs from June 2 through June 6. More information about the election and how to file as a candidate is available on the Park City Municipal website.
