BREAKING: Provo City Mayor Michelle Kaufusi has secured a narrow victory in the 2025 mayoral election, according to unofficial results just announced. With all 66 precincts reporting, Kaufusi garnered 6,149 votes, edging past her opponent, Marsha Judkins, who received 5,987 votes. This decisive win, confirmed earlier today, positions Kaufusi to serve another four years as the leader of Provo City.

The election was intensely competitive, with Kaufusi’s margin of victory just 162 votes, highlighting the critical importance of every ballot cast. Kaufusi, who has held the mayoral office since 2017, ran on a platform emphasizing fiscal responsibility, infrastructure investment, and community development.

In the lead-up to the election, tensions rose between Kaufusi and Judkins. Judkins accused Kaufusi’s campaign of misrepresenting her legislative record, even launching a fact-checker section on her campaign website to counter what she claimed were misleading flyers. These allegations added to the competitive atmosphere surrounding the race, making the results all the more significant.

Kaufusi’s campaign focused on revitalizing key areas such as East Bay and Provo Towne Center, aiming to transform underutilized spaces into vibrant community hubs. She also pledged to preserve open spaces and enhance neighborhood parks, goals that resonate deeply with Provo’s growing population.

As this election wraps up, focus will now shift to how Kaufusi plans to address the pressing issues facing Provo City during her new term. Residents are eager to see the implementation of her proposals, particularly in infrastructure and community development.
