Steve Fairbanks
Steve Fairbanks made his first foray into politics in 2003 when, after much encouragement from friends and acquaintances, he decided to run for Sandy City Council. His slogan was "Vote for the Man Without a Plan" because he had no grievance, complaint, or personal agenda. Steve's pledge was to make his vote on each question based on the facts and not the emotions involved.
Steve has a long history of public service in Sandy touching many aspects of city life. He has worked with business and community leaders in various settings and capacities and has seen first-hand how the city and the community can work together. His volunteer service has included:

- On the Board of the Sandy Area Chamber of Commerce...
- As a Director with the Sandy Rotary Club...
- On the Healthy Sandy Steering Committee...
- On the Neighborhood Preservation and Maintenance Plan Steering Committee...
- On the Public Utility Citizens Advisory Board...
- And on the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant Advisory Board
