Utah’s third largest city has gone 157 years without a female mayor. It won’t go 158.

This election means a change for Provo and might shake things up a bit in Utah County at large.<br>

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Running for mayor of Provo, Michelle Kaufusi is hoping to change the wall of mayors, currently made up completely of men. Utah County has the fewest women serving in mayoral positions, at 5 percent compared to a high of 18 percent in Salt Lake County. But that could change after November's municipal election, in which there are at least six female candidates for mayor in Utah County.
