Cristy Henshaw – Utah County Republican Party Chair

Join Senator John Johnson as he hosts Cristy Henshaw, Utah County Republican Party Chair, for an insightful discussion on key legislation shaping the 2025 session.

I’m Cristy Henshaw, and I’m honored to serve as the Utah County Republican Party Chair. My roots run deep in Utah County—my family moved back just before I started fourth grade at Windsor Elementary, where the incredible Mrs. Anderson instilled in us a love for great works of art and timeless quotes. Her dedication to classical education proved invaluable—I later tested out of a college art history class thanks to the foundation she and other amazing Utah County teachers provided. I graduated from Orem High, played soccer at UVU, and plan to spend my free time exploring every hiking and cross-country skiing trail in this breathtaking place we all call home.

Today, things feel anything but “normal”—and we all sense it. From local neighborhoods to national headlines, we’re confronted with ongoing crises, cultural battles, and an uncertain future. The fast-moving political landscape has divided many Republicans into two camps: those who feel overwhelmed and disengaged, and those ready to dig in and defend their values. But between these extremes, there is vital middle ground—and it’s up to the Utah County Republican Party to reclaim it. Our path forward isn’t found in adopting progressive narratives that claim our systems are broken. Instead, we must strengthen our caucus system, reignite enthusiasm for a party that upholds both compassion and personal responsibility, and clearly communicate a platform that fosters virtue, opportunity, and lasting societal progress. Let’s lead the way.
