In an October 2026 candidate questionnaire, Travis Hysell describes spending his adult working life in construction, alongside nonprofit leadership and community volunteering. He says those experiences have involved listening, practical problem-solving and working with people from varied backgrounds. His House District 55 campaign emphasizes affordability, water protection, public education, workers and access to health care. Hysell describes a grassroots approach built around conversations with residents and bringing working people’s concerns to the Legislature. These priorities and his account of professional experience come from his own answers published by the American Fork Citizen.
