Cheryl K. Acton is an American politician serving in the Utah House of Representatives, representing District 38. Acton was appointed on September 18, 2017.[1]

Early life and career

Acton was born and raised in Kansas before moving to Arizona for her senior year of high school. She now lives in West Jordan. She graduated from Brigham Young University with a BA in English.[2] She has also worked for the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Defense, where she earned the Meritorious Service Award. She has been a freelance writer and editor, an independent contractor, an internet researcher, a newspaper reporter, and a teacher.[1]

Political career

In September 2017, Rep. Adam Gardiner stepped down from his legislative post to become Salt Lake County Recorder. The votes to replace Gardiner were tied: Acton and Lyle Decker split the votes of 52 GOP delegates in the second round of voting, and the race was decided with a coin toss.[3] Acton won reelection in 2018, defeating Democratic challenger Diane Lewis with 47.94 percent of the popular vote.[4] In the legislature, she has proposed and passed legislation restricting access to abortion.[5]

During the 2022 General Session, Acton served on the Executive Offices and Criminal Justice Appropriations Subcommittee, the House Health and Human Services Committee, and the House Judiciary Committee.[1]
