Welcome to Happy Grateful Blessed. I’m Tami Tran, Mayor of Kaysville, Utah, and today’s conversation is one I’ve been really looking forward to.

My guest is Dalane England — a woman known across Utah for her deep love of America, her unwavering commitment to the Constitution, and her ability to engage in civic life with both courage and grace.
