Get to know Jimmie Hughes

My name is Jimmie Hughes, and I’m honored to be running to serve you as the next Mayor of St. George.

I was born and raised right here in St. George. Back then, we had fewer than 8,000 residents—hard to believe how much we’ve grown! After graduating from Dixie High and serving a mission in Brazil, I spent time working in real estate and mortgage banking before moving back home in 2003 to raise my family and start a local business.

Since 2011, I’ve had the privilege of serving on the City Council. I’ve always believed that public service should be rooted in common sense, experience, and a deep respect for the people footing the bill: the taxpayers. That’s why I’ve made it a priority to protect your tax dollars—ensuring they’re used efficiently, transparently, and only for projects that truly benefit our community.

Today, my wife Tawny and I run Hughes Mortuary, and we continue to operate our family’s cattle ranch on the Arizona Strip. Whether it’s helping families through tough times or putting in a hard day’s work on the ranch, I know the value of serving others and staying grounded in what matters most.

If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to call or text me at 435.772.6208.

I hope to earn your vote and your trust as we continue working to keep St. George a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
