Six seats across Layton, South Weber, and Davis County are all changing hands (or not) in the same 2026 cycle — and one person, two names, and one still-unconfirmed question tie several of them together.
The short version
Six seats across Layton, South Weber and Davis County change hands, or don't, in the same 2026 cycle. Davis County Commissioner Bob Stevenson vacated Commission Seat A to run for House District 16, where he faces Abigail Treasure in November.
Retiring Senate District 6 Sen. Jerry Stevenson gave $1,000 to Bob Stevenson on 6/11/26 and $500 to Kaysville Mayor Tamara Tran, the incoming SD-6 senator, on 6/22/26. A Jed D. Stevenson gave Tran $4,000 the same day.
Whether Jerry and Bob Stevenson are related is still an open question. No record found confirms or rules it out.
Susan Lee, who won the June primary for Commission Seat B, is the mother of outgoing HD-16 Rep. Trevor Lee. No 2026 conflict-of-interest form for Bob Stevenson was found on file when checked Oct. 3, 2026.

The Kaysville office behind Jerry Stevenson's Senate seat
One address ties together Jerry Stevenson's son, the senator he replaced in 2010, a national charter-school company, and a sitting Layton councilman's possible second role — all confirmed by public filings and a named, on-the-record 2016 Salt Lake Tribune investigation, not by this outlet.

Confirmed (Salt Lake Tribune, 5/27/2016, on the record): "The company's president, Jed Stevenson, is the son of Layton Republican Sen. Jerry Stevenson. The company's vice president is Sheldon Killpack, who resigned as majority leader of the Utah Senate in 2010." Named, dated, on-the-record reporting — not a rumor.
Historical, not current: Career Path High's own 2022 board roster shows Jerry Stevenson served as Board President (9/12/14 – 6/30/23) and Clint Morris as Financial Coordinator (through 10/31/23), both at 290 N. Flint St., Kaysville — One West Construction's address. Career Path High's current board page (checked 9/22) lists neither of them, and gives the school's address as 550 E 300 S, Kaysville. The ties were real and officer-level, but ended in 2023.
New, unresolved: Career Path High's current staff directory lists a "Kate Stevenson," Secretary. Shared surname only — no evidence yet of any relation to Jerry, Bob, or Jed Stevenson. Flagged, not asserted.
The full network — Academica West's revenue scale, the One West Construction entity filing, the charter-school client list across this district, and the Bridge Elementary bank-signer question — is written up in depth in Jed Stevenson, Unelected Power, rather than repeated here.
Kaysville's last two mayors, same PAC cluster
Separate from the Stevenson/Killpack network above: Kaysville's mayoralty itself has been a direct pipeline into the Doers Network/PAC ecosystem this outlet already tracks, across two consecutive mayors.
Confirmed:Steve Hiatt, Kaysville Mayor before Tamara Tran, is a profiled Doers Network Davis County Regional Advisory Board member in this outlet's own prior research, and a $98 donor to Elevating Local Leaders PAC.
Confirmed:Tamara "Tami" Tran, his successor as Kaysville Mayor and now SD-6's incoming senator, is the single largest documented Doers Network recipient of any candidate this outlet has tracked — $10,600 across two payments — plus $12,037.22 in in-kind ads from All In For Utah PAC, which shares Doers Network's exact registered-agent suite address.
Smaller, same cluster: Layton Mayor Joy Petro gave $300 to Elevating Local Leaders PAC (10/11/23) and received $100 back (4/16/24) — a minor revolving relationship, but the same adjacent PAC network Hiatt, Tran, and Rachel Terry (also a Doers Network Davis County board member) all sit in.
Northern Utah Economic Alliance — where Stevenson, Froerer, and Roybal sit together
A joint venture of Davis and Weber Counties, formally approved by both county commissions in 2019 — not a private network by origin, but its leadership structure is worth naming.
Confirmed: Bob Stevenson (Davis County) and Gage Froerer (Weber County Commissioner) are NUEA's two named Advisory Board co-chairs; Chris Roybal is NUEA's President. Froerer and Roybal are already central to this outlet's separate Adams Leadership PAC/Inland Port money-chain research.
Worth noting: EDCUtah was awarded a three-year contract to support NUEA at its founding. Ryan Starks, the subject of this outlet's own EDCUtah case file, is a director of both EDCUtah and its separate Foundation entity — an indirect overlap with Stevenson's own past EDCUtah Vice Chair role, not a direct connection.
What this diagram is actually saying
Confirmed: Bob Stevenson vacated his own Davis County Commission Seat A specifically to run for HD16 — one person, one deliberate move up, not two unrelated vacancies.
Confirmed: Susan Lee, who just won her own primary for Commission Seat B, is Trevor Lee's mother — the incumbent Bob Stevenson beat. Not a donor or financial connection, just worth knowing when her name and her son's name both come up in the same cycle.
Unconfirmed: Whether Jerry Stevenson (retiring SD-6) is related to Bob Stevenson (incoming HD16) remains an open question — the only hard data point is the $1,000 gift filed under a shared mailing address. No obituary, property record, or public bio found on either side confirms or rules it out.
Confirmed: Jerry Stevenson personally funded both handoffs in this cycle — $1,000 to Bob Stevenson (HD16) on 6/11/26, and $500 to his own successor Tamara Tran (SD-6) on 6/22/26.
A third Stevenson, unresolved: Jed D. Stevenson gave $4,000 to Tamara Tran the same day as Jerry Stevenson's $500 gift (6/22/26). His mailing address, in Kaysville, doesn't match Jerry's Layton address, so this is a separate open lead, not confirmation of anything already flagged. Worth checking whether Jed is related to either Jerry or Bob before this cycle closes out.
Disclosure form, as of Oct. 3, 2026: No 2026 conflict-of-interest form for Bob Stevenson (HD-16 candidate, Davis County commissioner) was found on file when checked Oct. 3, 2026. This may have changed since.
Questions to ask, and to whom
Ask: Lt. Governor's Office, Elections (disclosures.utah.gov) — Is a 2026 conflict-of-interest form now on file for HD-16 candidate Bob Stevenson? None was found when checked Oct. 3, 2026.
Ask: Davis County Commission or Weber County Commission, public comment at a commission meeting — The two counties formed the Northern Utah Economic Alliance in 2019. What does each county put into it each year, and where are its advisory board's meetings and minutes posted?
Ask: Career Path High board, public comment at a board meeting (agendas on utah.gov/pmn) — From 2014 to 2023 the board met at One West Construction's Kaysville address. Who keeps the school's books and does its building work today, and are those contracts posted?
