Speaker Mike Schultz: Insights into Utah’s Future From ranch life to the statehouse

A lifelong Hooper, Roy, and West Haven resident, Representative Mike Schultz has represented Utah House District 12 since 2015. He has been the Speaker of the House since November 2023. Schultz learned the value of hard work at a young age by working on his grandfather’s cattle farm, selling worms to fishermen, and milking cows at a neighbor’s dairy farm. When he was 16, Mike started a hay hauling business and was roofing homes. At the early age of 20, Mike earned his general contractor’s license and started building homes. Schultz has owned and operated several small businesses, including his home building company, which he stepped away from in 2023. Currently he owns and operates a family ranch in Croydon, Utah.
