Jackie Biskupski (born January 11, 1966)[1] is an American Democratic politician, who served as the 35th Mayor of Salt Lake City, Utah. Upon taking office, Biskupski became Salt Lake City's 35th mayor, the city's first openly gay mayor, and the second female mayor (after Deedee Corradini). She is also a former member of the Utah House of Representatives, representing the 30th District in Salt Lake County from 1999 to 2011.

Early life

[edit]

In 2009, Biskupski adopted a son named Archie. On August 14, 2016, she married longtime partner Betty Iverson, who also has a son.[2] She currently lives in the Sugar House neighborhood of Salt Lake City.

Biskupski holds a Bachelor of Science degree in criminal justice from Arizona State University.

Early career

[edit]

After graduating from college, Biskupski opened her own private investigation firm and later went to work for the auto insurance industry. Biskupski decided to get involved in politics after a 1995 controversy erupted at East High School (Salt Lake City), when the Board of the Salt Lake City School District and the Utah State Legislature tried to eliminate a gay/straight student alliance club.[3]

In 1997, Biskupski was elected to the Executive Committee for the Salt Lake County Democratic party as well as the Board of Directors for the YWCA of Salt Lake City.[4]

Utah Legislature

[edit]

When elected in 1998 to the Utah House of Representatives, she became Utah's first openly gay person elected[5] to a state office. She won by a two-to-one margin even though the Eagle Forum ran an antigay ad campaign against her.[6]

She was re-elected 6 times, serving in the legislature for 13 years before retiring in 2011.

In 2000, Biskupski unsuccessfully combated Utah's ban on adoption by same-sex parents and Utah's sodomy law[7] in response to a 1998 bill sponsored by Utah Representative Nora B. Stephens, R-Davis County: H.B. 103 ("Amendments to Child Welfare").[8]

Utah Governor Gary Herbert appointed Brian Doughty in 2011 to replace Utah Representative Jackie Biskupski, D-Salt Lake, when she resigned from the Utah House of Representatives.[9]

She then went to work as an administrator for the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office on January 31, 2015.[10]

In 2011, Biskupski helped found Utah's "Real Women Run" initiative, which has hosted numerous events to encourage female participation in civic leadership and political office.[11]

Mayor of Salt Lake City

[edit]

Biskupski was elected Salt Lake City Mayor on November 17, 2015, defeating two-term incumbent Ralph Becker with 51.55% of the vote,[12] receiving 17,290 votes to Becker's 15,840.[13] During her transition, she called for the resignation of most City department heads,[14] drawing criticism from former Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson and others.[15][16]

During her first year in office as mayor, Biskupski made local air quality and climate change issues central to her platform, calling for Salt Lake City to be completely run on alternative energy by 2032 and a reduction in carbon emissions by 80% by 2040.[17]

In 2016, Mayor Biskupski called for the creation of the Department of Economic Development.[18]

In September 2016, after a yearlong negotiation, Biskupski announced a new franchise agreement between Salt Lake City and Rocky Mountain Power in which both parties promised to work together to develop clean-energy projects that would enable Salt Lake City to meet its clean energy goals.[19]

Biskupski also focused on finding long-term treatment solutions to Salt Lake City's growing homeless population.[20][21] In December 2016, the Mayor announced the creation of four new homeless shelters in the capital city, generating substantial controversy about where to put the shelters and the cost of land acquisition.[22]

In 2017, Biskupski approved Salt Lake City's first Transit Master Plan, which was designed to implement a frequent transit network (FTN), develop pilot programs and partnerships for employer shuttles and on-demand shared ride services, develop enhanced bus corridors, and implement a variety of transit-supportive programs and transit access improvements that overcome barriers to using transit.[23]

In September 2018, Mayor Jackie Biskupski announced the formation of a Commission Against Gun Violence designed to explore policy questions regarding gun violence and to make funding recommendations to be shared with city, county and state officials, as well as the Salt Lake City School District.[24]

National Leadership

[edit]

In 2018, Biskupski was instrumental in the U.S. Olympic Committee selecting Salt Lake City to bid on behalf of the United States, potentially for the 2030 Winter Games.[25]

Biskupski serves as co-chair of Sierra Club's Mayors for 100% Clean Energy.[26]

In August 2018, Salt Lake City was selected to host the 68th United Nations Civil Society Conference, the first time a UN conference took place on US soil outside of New York City.

On November 19, 2018, Biskupski led a group of 21 mayors and council members from around Utah in submitting two amicus briefs with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, supporting the cases challenging President Trump's decisions to shrink Grand Staircase–Escalante (GSE) and Bears Ears National Monuments. The two cases, The Wilderness Society, et al. v. Donald J. Trump and Hopi Tribe, et al. v. Donald J. Trump, will be heard in the D.C. Court after a federal judge denied the Trump Administration's attempt to have the cases moved to the Utah District Court in Salt Lake City.[27]

In June 2017, Biskupski leads Sierra Club's "Mayors for 100% Clean Energy," and joined with the Sierra Club's "Ready for 100" campaign in a new effort to engage and recruit mayors to endorse the goal of transitioning to 100% renewable energy in cities throughout the country.[28]

In June 2017, Mayor Biskupski joined 61 U.S. mayors in committing to adopt, honor, and uphold the Paris Climate Agreement goals.[29]

In 2017, the U.S. Conference of Mayors made Biskupski vice chairwoman of Mayors/Business Alliance for a Sustainable Future.[30]

In February 2018, Mayor Biskupski joined hundreds of mayors opposing Clean Power Plan repeal.[31]

In July 2019, United States Conference of Mayors formally adopted Resolution 66 introduced by Biskupski, urging congressional action to combat the impact of climate change through a national price on carbon emissions.[32]

In what was regarded to be a surprise, Biskupski announced on March 16, 2019, that she would not be seeking a second term in the 2019 mayoral election, citing a "serious and complex family situation".[33]

Environment

[edit]

Biskupski serves as co-chair of Sierra Club's Mayors for 100% Clean Energy.[26]

In 2016, Salt Lake City became the 16th city in the United States to formally adopt a 100% clean energy plan.[34]

In 2016, Biskupski created Salt Lake City's Department of Economic Development.[35] In July 2016, the Department becomes an official part of SLC government. Since its creation, the new Department has been responsible for attracting or expanding 29 companies in Salt Lake City, resulting in $895,000,000 of capital investment and 9,000 jobs.[13]

In May 2016, Mayor Jackie Biskupski and Rocky Mountain Power CEO Cindy Crane launched a new initiative to double Salt Lake City's current use of clean solar power. Their program, Subscriber Solar, upped the amount of sustainable energy powering government operations from 6% to 12% in 2016, in line with Biskupski's 2020 goal to have 50% of municipal operations powered by renewable energy, and 100% by 2032.[36]

In July 2016, Mayor Jackie Biskupski launched Climate Positive 2040, Salt Lake City's initiative to transition the community to 100% renewable energy sources by 2032 (adjusted to 2030 in 2019)[37] and to reduce carbon emissions citywide by 80% by 2040.[38]

In keeping with Salt Lake City's clean energy goals set by Biskupski, in 2018, the Salt Lake City Fire Department made history by opening the first two net-zero fire stations in the country.[34]

On February 13, 2019, Biskupski called on Utah's D.C. delegation to leave America's Clean Car Standards alone. Biskupski spoke against the rollbacks currently being worked by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the first Trump administration.[39]

Housing

[edit]

On December 12, 2017, the Salt Lake City Council voted unanimously to adopt Mayor Biskupski's Growing SLC, a housing plan for the Salt Lake City.[40]

In February 2017, Mayor Biskupski launched the City's first affordable housing plan in 20 years. GrowingSLC, from 2017 to 2022, lays out a plan for policy changes, investment, and direct action to create and preserve affordable housing in Salt Lake City. Since 2017, the City has increased the number of units in the City's affordable housing pipeline from 200 in 2016 to more than 2,000 today.[13]

Transportation

[edit]

Biskupski created partnerships between Salt Lake City and dockless scooter companies, Lime and Bird to increase transit use by people who live more than a quarter of a mile from the bus or TRAX.[41]

In August 2019, from funding from a .05% increase in sales-tax, Salt Lake City launched the first phase of the City's Transit Master Plan.[42] Three Frequent Transit Network lines are opened on 900 South, 200 South, and 2100 South.[13]

Infrastructure

[edit]

Under Biskupski's leadership, Salt Lake City's International Airport is being entirely rebuilt to create the nation's first 21st-century hub airport, a $3.6-billion-dollar project that does not use a single taxpayer dollar.[43]

In November 2018, Salt Lake City voters approved Mayor Biskupski's $87-million bond for road repair.[13]

In keeping with Salt Lake City's clean energy goals set by Biskupski, in 2018, the Salt Lake City Fire Department opened the first two net-zero fire stations in the country.[34]

Biskupski speaking at the 2019 Women's March in January 2019

Gender equality

[edit]

In January 2017, in a first of its kind for the State of Utah, Mayor Biskupski issued new City policy providing 6-weeks of paid parental leave for any employee of Salt Lake City government,[44] extending the benefit to recently hired mothers, fathers, and those who become parents through adoption or foster care. Salt Lake County follows Salt Lake City shortly after.[13]

On March 1, 2018, Biskupski signed Salt Lake City's Gender Pay Equity policy which aimed to eliminate systemic bias and discrimination that adds to the under valuation of work performed by women it requires Human Resources to conduct regular audits on gender pay equity and specifically, the policy prohibits individuals participating in City hiring processes from asking an applicant about their current or past salary history.[45]

At the 2019 Salt Lake City Women's March, Biskupski called on Utah to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment,[46] which would enshrine gender equality in the U.S. Constitution.[47]

Utah Inland Port

[edit]

Biskupski has been a vocal opponent of the Utah Inland Port in its current legal state. Issues cited by Biskupski include loss of local control of the land, lack of transparency in the decision-making process, and environmental disruption.

On March 11, 2019, Biskupski directed the Salt Lake City's Attorney's Office to bring a lawsuit against the port, challenging the legality of the legislation underlying the port's creation.[48]

Public Safety

[edit]

In April 2016, Mayor Biskupski announced a plan to restructure SLC911, including addressing staffing issues. By November 2016, numbers show an 84% decrease in mandatory overtime shifts.[13]
