Zack Stratton is a fifth-generation Utah County native who understands the importance of community, faith, and family. Raised in Orem, Zack grew up learning the value of hard work from generations before him. His great-great-grandfather helped settle the Provo Bench as a fruit farmer, and his grandfather, Herb Stratton, continued that legacy while serving as a teacher. Zack’s father, Keven J. Stratton, has carried the torch of public service as a longtime member of the Utah Legislature and now as a Utah State Senator. That heritage of service and stewardship is something Zack proudly carries forward.

Zack is the co-founder and CEO of Stratton Landscape Group, one of the region’s most successful landscape and construction firms. What began as a student-run startup at BYU has grown into a company with more than 250 employees and award-winning projects across Utah and the West. Zack also holds a master’s degree in business management from UVU and has overseen major public works—including city parks, commercial developments, and landscaping for temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His leadership style is practical, hands-on, and focused on building things that last.

In every aspect of his life—from running a business to raising a family—Zack believes in fiscal responsibility, honest communication, and public transparency. Recently, he led a successful citizen referendum to stop the $35 million City Hall project in Vineyard. In just one week, over 500 residents signed the petition, resulting in the City Council canceling the plan. That experience reaffirmed Zack’s belief that government should always listen first and remain accountable to the people it serves.

Zack and his wife, Rachael, have lived in Vineyard for the past four years and are raising four children who are active in local events, sports, and church life. As a candidate for Mayor, Zack is committed to making sure Vineyard grows with purpose—not politics. He’s running to restore trust in city government, protect taxpayers’ hard-earned money, and ensure that the voices of Vineyard residents are not only heard—but respected.
