Pike peaks

When you're clambering over the boulders and up the mountain that is Elected Hotties, you have to understand that only one person can stand at the top at a time.

This week, it's St. George Councilman Jon Pike, who is at the peak, the pinnacle, the apex of hotness that can be obtained only by the hottest male city councilman in the state.

That's Jon, all right.

Jon Pike

Making St. George even hotter this summer!

This elected hottie joined the city council during a heated 2007 election season and is trying to figure out the best kind of airport to build down there. More here.

See you next week, when Jon takes on the other hotties for the men's state final.

UPDATE!!!
Jon just sent us this note:
Thanks for the good (and surprising) news! I definitely don't consider myself a "hottie", (and certainly my teenage daughters don't!), but an elected official will take any positive press he/she can get! I've visited your site, and it's really fun. I'll look forward to other "events" in the future.

In the meantime, you and your viewers are always welcome to come visit us in St. George, the "hottest" city!

You can't hold a candle to...

...Ogden Councilwoman Amy Wicks.

Our 20th Elected Hottie won a major battle of north vs. south over the past two weeks. An aggressive campaign to elect St. George Councilwoman Suzanne Allen got under way shortly after our poll was launched. But Amy had her share of local support, too.

So, what makes Amy so hot? Here we go:
According to her bio, she's been elected twice to the Ogden City Council and is the council's chairwoman. She works for the National Center on Shaken Baby Syndrome and was interviewed last week by STLtoday. When she's not debating the future of Ogden's water system, she loves (deep breath) snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking, hiking, climbing and whitewater kayaking.

Amy Wicks
A chairwoman in the hot seat!

And you voters really came through for your councilwomen. The poll's 457 votes is an all-time record for Elected Hotties. Amy and Suzanne also broke records for votes cast for a winner and runner-up. Thanks for showing your support to these women.

Update! Suzanne, an awesome sport, left us a note here and added a plug for St. George Councilman Jon Pike.

UPDATE 2: Amy left us this note in response to our congratulatory e-mail:
I've received several awards through the years, mainly for accomplishments or service to my community- but nothing quite like this. I'm really at a loss for words, which for those who know me...is rare. Thank you for this unique and lighthearted honor.

Having been told countless times that I look almost exactly like my mother (except I'm four inches taller) I guess I should give some credit to her. Thanks mom, for giving me your good genes, as well as making me wear sunscreen and begging me to eat my fruits and vegetables.

On a parting note, I'm going to put a plug in here to vote for Paul Cutler of Centerville in the next poll. We are both are Viewmont High School alums from the late 1980's/early 1990's.

Poll results:
Amy Wicks: 41 percent (191 votes)
Suzanne Allen: 36 percent (165 votes)

Marci Satterthwaite: 12 percent (55 votes)

Anna Stanton: 9 percent (43 votes)
Charelle Bowman: .6 percent (3 votes)

Who's the man?

As if Farmington needed any help. The place is home to Lagoon, after all. That's what fun is.
But it wasn't what hot is, until now. And you have Farmington Mayor Scott Harbertson to thank.

He's so hot, in fact, that we need a cold shower just to keep writing this.

Scott vanquished the competition with a surprise win over Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker. (audible gasp)

But the people have spoken. And who are we to judge? Well, we're happy judging that Scottie is the latest Hottie.

Scott Harbertson
Hottie for Life!

And if you can show up in the political arena and get elected on your first try, like Scott did in 2005, that's pretty hot.

Poll results:

Scott Harbertson: 53 percent
Ralph Becker: 30 percent

Ron Russell: 9 percent

Joe Thomas: 6 percent

Hottest female mayor

Not much voter turnout for this poll. What's your problem? We thought that if we actually gave you something to vote for, unlike this year's primary election, you'd turn out in droves. But you didn't, slackers.

Nevertheless, those who voted helped us pick Kaysville Mayor Neka Roundy as Utah's hottest female mayor. This former city councilwoman rose to the office of mayor in 2005 and can be spotted hosting a "Walk With the Mayor" event around Kaysville.

Neka Roundy
Please run in 2009!

Poll results:

Neka Roundy: 60 percent
Lou Ann Christensen: 40 percent

Mad for Madsen

Elected Hotties: Nice job, Sen. Madsen. You won. Where are you going next?

Mark: I'm going to the finals, Baby!

Elected Hotties: That's right. Now that you've dispatched House hunk Greg Hughes, you will be going to our final round when the public determines who is the hottest elected official in Utah. That's in a few weeks.

Mark: I can't wait!

Elected Hotties: Neither can we, Mark. Neither can we.

Mark Madsen
Another legislative victory!

Poll results:
Mark Madsen: 77 percent
Greg Hughes: 22 percent

Dayton's day

Welcome back from the weekend. Sorry we weren't here for your Elected Hotties fix on Friday. You'll survive, probably.

But what we really need to document is the fact that the venerable senator from Orem, Margaret Dayton, pulled off a sneak-attack win over her younger counterpart from Salt Lake City, Jennifer Seelig.

Best of luck, Margaret. You'll represent the Utah Legislature's women in our poll of Utah's hottest elected officials in a few weeks.

Margaret Dayton, R-Orem

Actually, can we call you Maggie?

Poll results:
Margaret Dayton: 58 percent
Jennifer Seelig: 41 percent

Hottest male county official in Utah

Did we tell you Thomas Low, Wasatch County's venerable county attorney, had mythical greatness, or did we tell you Thomas Low, Wasatch County's venerable county attorney, had mythical greatness?

Of course we told you.

"Once upon a time, there was a man named Thomas. And Thomas was hot, so hot that would demolish the competition when the good people voted. And there was never anyone hotter."

That's how the story of Thomas Low will be written, as least if Elected Hotties gets to write it. (We're hoping for the movie rights, as well.)

Thomas Low
The hottest!

Thomas won yet another astounding victory over previous county winners Michael Jensen, Marty Gleave, Kurt Taylor and Dale Eyre, each of whom had his own astounding victory. Thomas just has the astoundingest victory so far.

Let's see where his hotness gets him in the semifinals in a few weeks. See you Monday.

Poll results:
Thomas Low: 70 percent
Michael Jensen: 12 percent
Marty Gleave: 8 percent
Dale Eyre: 4 percent
Kurt Taylor: 4 percent

Hottest female county official in Utah

We've already sung the praises of Karen Sunday, the Morgan County Councilwoman who won hottest female county official of northern Utah.

But this hot councilwoman has added another victory to her name. In the poll closing today, she has been named hottest female county official in the entire state.

She beat out Sherrie Swensen, Brandy Grace and Camille Moore, all of whom had astonishing victories in their categories.

Karen Sunday
The hottest!

It's going to be a while before we hear from Karen again. You see, we've got to put her on the backburner until we complete various other polls to figure out the hottest of the hot from the Utah Legislature, Utah's city councils and Utah's mayors. Then, you'll be allowed to gaze upon her beauty again.

Poll results:
Karen Sunday: 66 percent
Sherrie Swensen: 16 percent
Brandy Grace: 16 percent
Camille Moore: 0
