Representative, District 5 and House Majority Assistant Whip
State of Utah
Bio:
Born and raised in Liberty, Representative Snider now resides on a farm in Paradise with his wife Kelli, and their two children—both places he proudly calls home. A husband, father, volunteer firefighter, EMT, and avid sportsman Representative Snider recently added another title to his list of many: House Majority Assistant Whip.
Since being elected in 2018 to represent District 5 of Cache Valley, he views his time in the State Legislature as another opportunity to give back. He has produced legislative solutions at every level of government, from grassroots efforts to being a staffer at the U.S. Capitol. Representative Snider has championed policies concerning the preservation of Utah’s precious natural resources, specifically the future of our water supply. He’s known for his willingness to engage, an emphasis on common sense policy, and providing a valuable rural perspective.
Raised in agriculture, he’s integrated that ‘work until the job is done’ attitude the farm requires into his service with the legislature. A proud Aggie, Representative Snider earned a Bachelor of Science degree in conservation and restoration ecology, law, and constitutional studies from Utah State University and a Master of Science in environmental science and policy from Johns Hopkins University.
When he’s not working, he’s likely taking his daughter on a mule ride, going waterfowl hunting, or starting a new project on the farm.
