61-year-young Jim Vesock is single and is currently retired but has held a variety of jobs. In addition to serving in the Navy, he has worked in the fast-food industry, landscaping and installing sprinklers, Home Depot management, grocery store manager, and water fitness instructor.
He’s an animal lover with a special affection for cats and is Dad to four feline kids.
Jim’s love of West Valley City and passion for community involvement run deep and show with his engagement in public meetings and activities. Jim regularly volunteers at West Valley City events, attends West Valley City study meetings, offers citizen comments at West Valley City Council Meetings, and attends Strategic Planning Sessions. Jim currently serves as the Chairperson of the West Valley City Clean and Beautiful Committee.
Jim loves to volunteer giving over 1100 hours of his time in 2022.
Jim is a graduate of the Salt Lake County, Salt Lake City Citizen Police Academy's along with the West Valley City Citizen’s Police Academy. He’s a strong advocate of public safety and believes West Valley City has the most well-trained Police and Fire Departments in Utah.
He is a champion of speaking up and taking action which results in change for the better. For example, he petitioned to change the WVC pet ordinance. In the past, residents were limited to specifically owning two dogs and two cats. Jim had the wording of the ordinance revised to permit residents a total of four companion pets, regardless of species.
Jim continues to be a champion for the resident and property owners of West Valley City by speaking up about the need for major change in the West Valley City's code enforcement department.
“The only easy day was yesterday,” Jim said, quoting one of the mottos of the US Navy SEALs he embraces. “I believe West Valley City is the jewel of Utah. But even a jewel can use a bit of polishing. I believe, together, we can create the changes and address the issues that will make West Valley City shine even brighter than the jewel that it is already. I love West Valley City and am eager to serve its wonderful residents. That’s why I’m running City Council.”
