Jeff Gray, the Republican incumbent, collected 71,693 votes for Utah County Attorney with all 533 reporting units counted, according to unofficial results from Utah County Clerk, Elections. Gray ran unopposed and received 100% of the votes counted in the race.

What was at stake

The county attorney oversees the Utah County Attorney's Office, representing the county in all court cases and handling legal duties, according to Utah County government records.

Gray has held the office since January 2023. During his first term, he created the Major Crimes Division, which includes the Special Victims Unit, according to his county government profile. He also expanded victim support services and strengthened law enforcement collaboration, the profile states.

The key issues:

  • Gray listed prosecution as a priority on his campaign website, stating he would pursue the death penalty in cases he deemed appropriate.
  • He pledged to staff the office with experienced attorneys.
  • He said reinstating the Special Victims Unit was a first priority when he initially ran for the seat.

A little history

Gray won the office in 2022 after defeating then-incumbent David Leavitt in the June 28, 2022, Republican primary. Gray received about 73% of the vote to Leavitt's 28% in that primary, according to KUTV.

Before becoming county attorney, Gray worked as search and seizure section director at the Utah Attorney General's Office starting in 1995, according to BallotReady. He earned a law degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1990 and a bachelor's degree in communication from Brigham Young University in 1987.

What's next

The results remain unofficial until the canvass is complete. Under Utah law, candidates may request a recount if the margin is 0.25% or less of total votes cast, according to Verified Voting. That threshold does not apply here, as Gray was the only candidate.
