Shireen Ghorbani to run for Salt Lake County at-large seat vacated by Mayor Jenny Wilson

Fresh off her bid for Salt Lake County mayor — and her race just before that for Utah’s 2nd Congressional District — Shireen Ghorbani announced she’s not done with politics yet.

Ghorbani, a communication professional at the University of Utah, told The Salt Lake Tribune Tuesday that she intends to run for the at-large Salt Lake County Council seat vacated Tuesday by newly-inaugurated Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson.

“There’s so much good work to be done and so many places to really start moving the needle — whether it’s on an aggressive approach to sustainability, pushing forward on mass transit, helping more people get out of their cars, there’s just a need across our entire county,” Ghorbani said.
