Meet Kent
Kent Davis previously served as a prosecutor in the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office, working alongside dedicated career prosecutors committed to protecting the community. That experience gave him a firsthand understanding of both the strengths of the office and the challenges it now faces.
After four terms under the current administration, the office faces serious concerns. Court rulings, independent audits, and dismissed cases have revealed systemic problems that have weakened public confidence and raised questions about accountability, transparency, and consistency in decision-making.
Kent is running because Salt Lake County needs renewed leadership focused on strong, consistent prosecution and restoring trust in the rule of law.
As a former Salt Lake County prosecutor, he handled serious violent felony cases and built and supervised a cybercrime prosecution team. An Army combat veteran with two deployments to Iraq, Kent served as an infantry platoon leader and is a graduate of U.S. Army Ranger School. His awards include the Bronze Star Medal and the Combat Infantryman Badge, awarded to soldiers who personally engaged the enemy under hostile fire. An Army veteran and attorney, he has spent his career in environments where discipline, integrity, and accountability are non-negotiable.
Kent’s priorities are clear:
Holding offenders accountable and prioritizing public safety
Supporting victims and ensuring their voices are heard
Strengthening transparency and internal accountability
Restoring confidence in fair, consistent prosecution
Kent is not running to change the mission of the office. He is running to strengthen it, fix what isn’t working, and ensure the law is enforced professionally, fairly, and without hesitation.
